Tax revenue isn't a strategic plan. 186 00:09:41,745 --> 00:09:46,512 A strategic plan defines what kind of county we want Maury County, 187 00:09:46,512 --> 00:09:51,786 Maury County to be.

So just wanted to talk through that. 375 00:20:00,129 --> 00:20:04,736 They announced a few months ago they're investing $275 million additional dollars 376 00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:09,002 into their facility, both across their assembly plant and also their engine 377 00:20:09,002 --> 00:20:09,343 assembly plant and also their engine plant. 378 00:20:09,343 --> 00:20:13,666 They announced— at the time of the announcement that they were bringing on a 379 00:20:13,666 --> 00:20:13,837 announcement that they were bringing on a 5th 380 00:20:13,837 --> 00:20:16,738 vehicle that has since been named the Cadillac XT6. 381 00:20:16,738 --> 00:20:21,004 They will be bringing that production here along with the Chevrolet Blazer. 382 00:20:21,004 --> 00:20:24,018 So that will give us 3 gasoline-powered— not engines, 383 00:20:24,018 --> 00:20:26,521 but gasoline-powered vehicles that are here. 384 00:20:26,521 --> 00:20:29,536 You've got the Cadillac XT5, the XT6, and the Blazer. 385 00:20:29,536 --> 00:20:32,948 And then they will continue to make the 2 electric vehicles, 386 00:20:32,948 --> 00:20:34,598 the Cadillac LYRIQ and Viziq. 387 00:20:34,598 --> 00:20:34,871 Thank you. 388 00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:39,372 So just speaking to the importance of that facility for General Motors, 389 00:20:39,372 --> 00:20:43,653 it's very positive that we're seeing a duality in the mix and it's not just 390 00:20:43,653 --> 00:20:44,110 duality in the mix and it's not just electric 391 00:20:44,110 --> 00:20:48,619 and not just gas. I think that's going to help us keep long-term employment out 392 00:20:48,619 --> 00:20:52,557 there over the years. And then a couple of updates on the next slide. 393 00:20:52,557 --> 00:20:56,495 So Trimo North America Recticel Group announced very early this year— 394 00:20:56,495 --> 00:21:00,662 the photo that you see there, they announced, I believe it was January of 395 00:21:00,662 --> 00:21:01,233 announced, I believe it was January of this year, 396 00:21:01,233 --> 00:21:02,888 This photo is actually dated. 397 00:21:02,888 --> 00:21:06,712 They have been constructing at a phenomenal pace out in Cherry Glen 398 00:21:06,712 --> 00:21:07,625 phenomenal pace out in Cherry Glen Industrial Park. 399 00:21:07,625 --> 00:21:12,134 Would welcome you the next opportunity you have to go by and see that facility. 400 00:21:12,134 --> 00:21:13,618 It's very, very beautiful. 401 00:21:13,618 --> 00:21:17,728 And then finally, Excentria, which announced last year in Cherry Glen as 402 00:21:17,728 --> 00:21:18,013 announced last year in Cherry Glen as well. 403 00:21:18,013 --> 00:21:22,294 They are in the process of beginning to install equipment and begin hiring. 404 00:21:22,294 --> 00:21:27,088 So I would anticipate some news from them as they continue to ramp up and get closer 405 00:21:27,088 --> 00:21:28,458 to their actual opening. 406 00:21:28,458 --> 00:21:30,285 And those are the exciting days, 407 00:21:30,285 --> 00:21:34,965 years after we make the announcement when you get to see the project come to life. 408 00:21:34,965 --> 00:21:38,846 At this point, I'll pause and take any questions anybody might have. 409 00:21:38,846 --> 00:21:41,958 Yes, sir. Thank you, sir. Commissioner Howard, you're first up. 410 00:21:41,958 --> 00:21:43,433 Thank you. 411 00:21:43,741 --> 00:21:46,029 Excuse me. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. 412 00:21:46,029 --> 00:21:50,999 Thank you for— thank you for what you do and thank you for the presentation. 413 00:21:50,999 --> 00:21:55,968 Also, I read something about General Motors and the military contract that I 414 00:21:55,968 --> 00:21:56,295 Motors and the military contract that I think 415 00:21:56,295 --> 00:21:59,041 they're also looking at and hoping to win. 416 00:21:59,041 --> 00:22:03,225 And the rumor mill is that it would be done here in Spring Hill. 417 00:22:03,225 --> 00:22:06,102 I don't know if you've heard the same thing. 418 00:22:06,102 --> 00:22:08,550 I've not heard anything reliable regarding that. 419 00:22:08,550 --> 00:22:14,242 Well, the question that I had is, and I've asked this a couple of times, 420 00:22:14,242 --> 00:22:18,037 and I'll be honest, I don't remember the answer. 421 00:22:18,037 --> 00:22:21,832 The cost of living, when I look at that, I mean, 422 00:22:21,832 --> 00:22:27,840 it is concerning to see I guess based on that scale that like Murray County, 423 00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,295 and I assume the higher the number, the higher the cost of living is. 424 00:22:33,295 --> 00:22:39,461 I mean, anybody that's been to Charleston knows that Charleston is a mecca for 425 00:22:39,461 --> 00:22:41,359 everything is expensive. 426 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:47,762 And so to see that our cost of living in Murray County is higher than Charleston, 427 00:22:47,762 --> 00:22:50,608 South Carolina, what's driving that? 428 00:22:50,608 --> 00:22:55,747 Is the demand that Murray County is the place to be driving that? 429 00:22:55,747 --> 00:23:00,965 I mean, what— From y'all's data and intel in economic development, 430 00:23:00,965 --> 00:23:02,625 what is driving that? 431 00:23:02,625 --> 00:23:05,793 I can't speak 100% confidently to what is driving it. 432 00:23:05,793 --> 00:23:09,200 And now they are within a couple of points of each other. 433 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,592 And when you see communities that close, 434 00:23:11,592 --> 00:23:16,015 they'll kind of ebb and flow and go back and forth. But this survey looks— 435 00:23:16,015 --> 00:23:17,089 I mean, we're higher than Atlanta. 436 00:23:17,089 --> 00:23:17,333 Yeah. 437 00:23:17,902 --> 00:23:18,081 Yeah. 438 00:23:18,552 --> 00:23:21,424 This survey looks at a myriad of different Things, 439 00:23:21,424 --> 00:23:24,411 and one of those is housing costs and rental prices. 440 00:23:24,411 --> 00:23:26,708 And we know, you know, from 2020 to now, 441 00:23:26,708 --> 00:23:31,303 Murray County has seen a much steeper curve than a lot of those who were already 442 00:23:31,303 --> 00:23:33,658 higher. So I think that has driven it up, 443 00:23:33,658 --> 00:23:38,311 but we've actually seen those numbers kind of start to level and decline a little 444 00:23:38,311 --> 00:23:42,619 bit. So I'm interested to see what happens with the second quarter of data. 445 00:23:42,619 --> 00:23:47,847 Okay, what is that metrics? I mean, what is that number? What is 96.2? 446 00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:53,065 So the way to think about cost of living is 100 is essentially the national 447 00:23:53,065 --> 00:23:53,601 is 100 is essentially the national average. 448 00:23:53,601 --> 00:23:57,821 You think about it as a dollar for— so in the U.S., on average, 449 00:23:57,821 --> 00:24:00,635 if it costs you a dollar to buy a product, 450 00:24:00,635 --> 00:24:03,717 in Murray County it would cost you 96.2 cents. 451 00:24:03,717 --> 00:24:06,732 So you are cheaper than the national average. 452 00:24:06,732 --> 00:24:11,488 If you were in New York, it would cost you $1.67 to buy that same good. 453 00:24:11,488 --> 00:24:13,297 So you're 67 cents cheaper. 454 00:24:13,297 --> 00:24:13,505 Okay. 455 00:24:15,017 --> 00:24:17,886 So you want to, you know, it's based on a national average. 456 00:24:17,886 --> 00:24:19,507 Okay, that's interesting. 457 00:24:19,507 --> 00:24:24,826 Just the last comment, Will, is, you know, departing, this being the last meeting, 458 00:24:24,826 --> 00:24:29,949 definitely won't be the last year for me, but one of the things that, you know, 459 00:24:29,949 --> 00:24:33,452 I've been very concerned about is the diversification, 460 00:24:33,452 --> 00:24:37,992 and I think over the last several years we've talked about that a lot. 461 00:24:37,992 --> 00:24:42,142 When you look at the unemployment rate growing so exponentially, 462 00:24:42,142 --> 00:24:45,515 Based on our fact that we're so auto industry heavy, 463 00:24:45,515 --> 00:24:50,768 I think that that means that we need to kind of run away from a little bit of the 464 00:24:50,768 --> 00:24:54,465 auto aspect of it, even though that's a temporary number. 465 00:24:54,465 --> 00:24:59,783 I don't think that we want Murray County in the news with the highest unemployment 466 00:24:59,783 --> 00:25:04,323 rate because a retool or, you know, whatever is going on at the plant. 467 00:25:04,323 --> 00:25:07,631 One of the things that I would highly encourage is, 468 00:25:07,631 --> 00:25:12,690 as we're looking at these different industries, We're continuing to diversify, 469 00:25:12,690 --> 00:25:16,192 and I mean, we really need high tech in Murray County. 470 00:25:16,192 --> 00:25:20,862 I think that that's also going to be a major driving force in your wages 471 00:25:20,862 --> 00:25:21,445 major driving force in your wages increase. 472 00:25:21,445 --> 00:25:26,439 And anyway, appreciate you, and thank you for all that you do. Thank you, Mr. 473 00:25:26,439 --> 00:25:27,023 Chairman. 474 00:25:27,023 --> 00:25:29,511 That will remain to be a top priority for our organization as well. 475 00:25:29,511 --> 00:25:31,759 Thank you, sir.
