From the May 6, 2025 e-EditionNASHVILLE, Tenn. - State Rep. Brock Martin, R-Huntingdon, today announced he has successfully secured $6.8 million in state funding for the city of Milan to support economic development through the purchase of a new industrial park.
The investment marks a major step forward in Milan’s efforts to attract new businesses, create jobs and strengthen the local economy.
“This funding is a game-changer for Milan,” Martin said. “The acquisition of an industrial park will help us compete for major economic development projects and provide long-term opportunities for growth. I’m proud to support a budget that prioritizes rural communities and helps build a stronger future for West Tennessee.”
