U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.) today released the following statement on the announcement by Bridgestone Americas, Inc.:
"Bridgestone's decision to build its new headquarters in downtown Nashville and bring 600 additional jobs to Tennessee is further proof that our state is headed in the right direction. Tennessee's low taxes, right-to-work law and other advantages continue to make it an ideal place for the automotive industry to invest."
Alexander was governor of Tennessee when Bridgestone first came to the state.
