The
Southern Advantage: Why You Should Consider Doing Business in the World's
Fourth-Largest Economy
In the span of about a half century, the South has transformed itself from "a
slow-paced agrarian-focused marketplace" into a key player of both the US and
World economies.
Growth in the region has been and continues to be phenomenal. For example, the
South's population has nearly doubled in the last 30 years. The southern states;
stretching from Texas to Maryland, are now home to 30 million MORE residents
than the Northeast. Today, in terms of corporate growth, the South is the only
region that has shown a positive net migration in the early 21st Century.
This book tells Dixie's amazing story of progression, from poverty to prosperity,
presenting sound logic as to why you should consider moving your business and
your family to the South.
"My personal experience over the past fifty-plus years has instilled within me a
passion for helping people discover just how much this region has to offer
them," says Mr. Hollingsworth. "Not only have I evaluated the statistical data
and the research to explain the benefits of living and working in the South, I have
lived the lessons, reaped the rewards, and now wish to pass this experience on
to others."
"Whether you are a corporate leader in search of the most profitable business
location or you are an individual in search of the best place for living and
working, I truly believe you should not overlook the Southern Advantage."
A
native Southerner, Joe Hollingsworth, Jr. has more than 35 years of successful
entrepreneurial business experience in the South. He currently serves as CEO for
The Hollingsworth Companies, headquartered in Clinton, Tennessee. Under this
unique corporate umbrella exists a rich diversity of businesses, including
SouthPoint Business Parks (with locations in Alabama, North Carolina, Tennessee,
and Virginia), which provide a network of carefully developed and privately
controlled business sites throughout the South.
Mr. Hollingsworth has been extensively involved in the economic growth of
several Southern states, especially his home state of Tennessee. He served as
vice chairman of the Tennessee Board for Economic Growth, which was established
to analyze and benchmark Tennessee's economic performance versus the 49
remaining states. This effort produced "Opportunity 21," the first long-term
economic strategy in Tennessee's history, encompassing 41 different state
initiatives. Over the years he has also served in a number of other private and
public capacities, offering continual dedication to the improvement of the
South. For additional information on Mr. Hollingsworth and The Hollingsworth
