Manpower Returns to McKenzie
From the Nov 18, 2025 e-Edition
McKENZIE (November 13) — Thursday afternoon’s ribbon-cutting at the RailYard Workspace was a welcome home celebration for Manpower, an employment agency supporting the Paris, McKenzie and Huntingdon workforce.
Manpower spent many years in McKenzie before relocating to Paris. Nearly fifteen years later, the agency has returned with employees stationed on the third floor of the RailYard Workspace.
Manpower owners Lynn and Jeff Marshall were in attendance alongside representatives from Manpower’s Professional Office and offices in Dyersburg, Martin, Selmer, Jackson, Hopkinsville and Clarksville.
“Not only are we coming back to McKenzie after a little time away, but we’re coming back together,” said co-owner Jeff Marshall. “It’s really nice to be back here.”
Also at the ribbon-cutting were McKenzie Mayor Ryan Griffin, McKenzie Chamber of Commerce and Industrial Development Board Executive Director Monica Heath and a number of McKenzie High School students.
“We’re so thankful that you chose to invest in McKenzie,” said Mayor Griffin, “and we look forward to supporting you.”
With Manpower’s move, all offices at the RailYard Workspace are now occupied.
