Tennessee Recognized as Great Place to Retire
Published Apr 08, 2008

Move over, Florida. Tennessee is a great place to retire.

The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development began a program in 2006 called “Retire Tennessee,” promoting the Volunteer State as an ideal place for retirees to call home. The ECD chose nine Tennessee communities to participate in the pilot promotional program: Cumberland, Greene, Hamilton, Hardin, Henry, Lawrence, Marshall, Putnam and Sullivan counties.

One reason that Tennessee is attracting so many retirees is because it has four distinct seasons, with none of them being too extreme. There is also an abundance of lakes and parks, major medical centers and a number of active civic organizations.
