Stanton, Tennessee, is on the cusp of a transformative era—positioned as a rising hub of innovation, industry, and community growth in the American South. Located in Haywood County and strategically situated near the I-40 corridor between Memphis and Nashville, Stanton offers exceptional connectivity, access to skilled labor, and a pro-business environment ideal for development.
Stanton’s proximity to major transportation networks—including highways, rail lines, and Memphis International Airport—makes it an attractive location for manufacturing, logistics, and distribution operations. The town is minutes away from the BlueOval City, the largest investment in Ford Motor Company’s history, creating a powerful economic engine and demand for supporting industries, housing, and services.

We focus on neighborhood retail and services on Main Street, larger formats along US-70 and the SR 222 corridor, and employer needs tied to BlueOval City. We also align workforce pipelines with TCAT programs and customized training to make hiring easier on day one.
