Macon County is proud to be a Tennessee Three-Star Community. The Three-Star Program was created over 23 years ago to help Tennessee position itself as a leader in economic and industrial development. The communities that receive the Three-Star Award have demonstrated the highest levels of economic performance. They continue to experience success with more new projects, expansions, jobs and capital investments. Macon County has been a Three-Star Community since 1994.
THREE-STAR REQUIREMENTS To be known as the "best of the best", each community seeking Three-Star status must meet a set of detailed requirements in areas such as Community Development, Economic Planning, Education and Work Force Development. Communities that meet these requirements receive special incentives from the State of Tennessee. These incentives include extra grant money and extra points in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) non-economic development competition.
