"We're looking forward to manufacturing this new, innovative product," said Gaudette. "It's a testament to the skill of our workforce, as well as the flexibility of our manufacturing operation, that we can do this given the complexities of already building five different vehicles in Smyrna. It will be in very capable hands." In helping Gaudette make the announcement, Governor Bredesen welcomed the news of continuing growth by a company that has called Tennessee home since its 1980 groundbreaking. "We are pleased to join Nissan for another significant investment announcement for the State of Tennessee," the Governor said. "Since taking office in 2003, we have shared in three major economic development announcements with Nissan which demonstrates their commitment to investing and growing jobs in this state. They have experienced the positive business environment we offer here and know firsthand the quality of our work force. Nissan is a valuable corporate partner, and we look forward to building on our relationship with them and creating more opportunities in the future." "Our focus is to work with our existing industries like Nissan to create a positive business climate and ensure there are good jobs for Tennesseans," Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Matthew Kisber added. "The announcement being made today reflects our continued efforts to build an even stronger economic engine in Tennessee. We appreciate the investment that Nissan has made in our state and the confidence the company has shown in our work force. We look forward to many more positive job creation announcements."
