The so-called three star designation is "awarded" by the TN Department of Economic Development to cities and counties who have achieved a high level of skill in advanced political photo ops and PR palooza. These local officials must learn how to stand up straight and smile for the camera and say stuff that means absolutely nothing. It is very demanding but, unfortunately for taxpayers, has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with economic development because POLITICIANS don't create jobs!!!Link
"This designation is a sign of Anderson County's tremendous hard work, and I am proud to offer my congratulations," Kisber said in a news release.
"Strong community development is the basis for sustainable economic growth, and Anderson County has demonstrated their commitment to improvement by accepting and meeting Three-Star's challenging requirements. This dedication has yielded progress, and Anderson County is more prepared than ever for long-term success in the economic, and every other, arena," Kisber added.
