The City of Athens welcomed Congressman Chuck Fleischmann for a visit highlighting continued economic growth and infrastructure investment in the community.
During his visit, Congressman Fleischmann toured Heil Trailer following the company's recent award of a federal contract to manufacture tankers. The contract represents a significant milestone for Heil and has created opportunities for the company to expand its workforce, bringing additional jobs and strengthening the local economy. The tour provided an opportunity to see firsthand how federal investment is supporting American manufacturing while benefiting workers and families in Athens.
The visit also included a stop at the Athens Industrial Park alongside McMinn County Economic Development Authority leadership to discuss an important infrastructure project that will support future growth throughout the region. Efforts are underway to secure funding for the construction of a new water tower that will improve water capacity and reliability within the industrial park.
