Professional Services - Oak Ridge Economic Development Initiative

A Smart Place to Locate

Oak Ridge offers many advantages as a location for regional headquarters and professional services.

As a regional technology and innovation hub, the Oak Ridge Corridor is home to manufacturing facilities, construction and engineering firms, and the Oak Ridge National Labs and Y-12 National Security Complex.

The longstanding presences of the national labs and security complex have made an attractive home for buildings offering office and administrative space, while also attracting top talent to the area in areas beyond just science and defense. And the surrounding beauty of Oak Ridge and its surrounding area make it a great place to live, work, and play.

And Roots that Run Deep

While many employers envy the lure that big-city living provides to new-hire recruitment activity, Oak Ridge and the surrounding East Tennessee areas have become a magnet for people looking for a positive family environment with attractive outdoor spaces to settle down, live, work and play in.
