East Tennessee Iron & Metal begins expansion

Some business interests wanting to come to, or expand, in the Bulls Gap area recently were ones that the town would just as soon look elsewhere. But on Thursday, Oct. 29, a longtime friend of the community saw its plans welcomed with open arms. East Tennessee Iron & Metal, which celebrates its 40th year of operation in the Bulls Gap area next year, broke ground on an expansion of its facilities off Highway 66 that will take place during the next four years. The plans came to fruition after the Tennessee Department of Transportation announced improvements to Highway 66. ETIM began consulting with TDOT on a viable plan of expansion for their business. “This plan was predicated by our growth and coincides with the new TDOT State Road expansion of Highway 66,” said ETIM CEO Jimmy Brooks. “(This) project will not only help our business, but helps our community. We have worked closely with TDOT on this plan.” Brooks outlaid the plan and the company also had artists’ renderings of the new buildings for visitors to view. The expansion plan includes the following additions to the ETIM facilities: A new central operations building that will take up 7,000 square feet

Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers to open in Greeneville

Renovations are underway at 301 S. Main St, the future home of Smoky Mountain Auto Brokers. Owners Scott and Lynn Grant say painting is almost complete; a muralist will be creating a landscape of the Smokies on their windows. Once completed, the building will look and feel like a vintage service station. The new look takes inspiration from the nearby Greeneville Greene County History and City Garage Car museums as well as local classic car meets like Sundown on the Depot, which its proprietors enjoy. The dealership will specialize in classic and luxury pre-owned vehicles. While this will be the Grants’ first business in the area, they previously ran what they said was the largest independent used car dealership in southwest Florida. “While we may be new to Greeneville, TN, we have been in the automotive industry for over 35 years,” Scott said. “Since retiring to the foothills of East Tennessee, we are aiming to provide a boutique car buying experience, focusing on quality versus quantity.” The Grants, who moved to Greeneville almost four years ago, enjoy attending downtown events like the Iris Festival and say they look forward to becoming more involved in the community they love.

WR Concrete: Quality Concrete Work

Kevin Bucher and his family moved to the Poor Valley community of Hawkins County a little over a year ago. He opened WR Concrete in January. Kevin spent his early childhood in Harrisburg, Virginia. His family moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania when he was in middle school. Kevin recalled “I started working really young, helping my dad and grandpa. I did concrete jobs in Pennsylvania and I’ve been in construction for about nine years.” His journey to Tennessee came from a higher power. “God called us here! I always wanted to move back south, to the Appalachian Mountains. We started watching the Bridge Church services online. Three months later, we were here!” Last year, Kevin, his wife Emily and their three children (ages 13, 9, and 3) made their move to Hawkins County. Kevin explained that people began asking him about finishing concrete. He added “I always wanted to work for myself. I like working with concrete because I can take something that doesn’t exist and finish it by the end of the day. It’s fulfilling!” No two jobs are the same. Some projects that WR Concrete does include sidewalks, foundations, floors, house slabs, concrete countertops, and stamped concrete. Kevin is

What’s New & What’s Next Downtown, Part 1: Restaurants & Retail

Downtown Knoxville has been keeping busy, and I’ve got a massive backlog of openings, announcements and developments to prove it. Time for a catch-up! Last week I again joined Compass Knox editor Scott Barker and co-founder Jesse Fox Mayshark on their Compass Points podcast to nerd out on all things downtown-ish. Naturally, I showed up with 10 FULL PAGES of notes about stuff happening in downtown proper alone. Since both hosts and producer Seth Barber failed to clear their next six hours for my monologue, I crammed what I could into a rapid-fire spoken word performance, confirming once and for all that I should stick to journalism.

Centrus ships first American made centrifuge from Oak Ridge to Ohio

The staff at Centrus Technology and Manufacturing Center at 400 Centrifuge Way in Oak Ridge on Oct. 29 joined politicians, along with company and government leaders, in celebrating the shipment of the first new American-made, advanced AC100M centrifuge as part of Centrus Energy Corp.’s multibillion-dollar expansion. The company is expanding its capacity to make thousands of gas centrifuges in Oak Ridge and to use those machines in the plant the company has been enlarging in Ohio to enrich uranium at traditional and higher concentrations for future nuclear power plants housing conventional or next-generation, advanced reactors. Pieces of the gas centrifuge have been shipped by truck to Centrus Energy’s American Centrifuge Plant in Piketon, Ohio, where the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant previously enriched uranium. According to a Centrus Energy news release, the ceremony marked a milestone in which expanded centrifuge manufacturing in Tennessee is connected with uranium enrichment expansion in Ohio “to rebuild America’s nuclear fuel supply chain. The achievement marks the assembly of a complete, unobligated supply chain to serve both the commercial and national security markets.” “ Completing the first new centrifuge for our expansion and standing up a one-of-a-kind supply chain are significant moments for our team and
