MONTGOMERY COUNTY,  Tenn. (WKRN) — Montgomery County has had several major companies announce plans to move to their industrial park area off Interstate 24, and the moves are projected to add 4,000 jobs to the area by 2030.

Other companies in the area include LG Electric, which makes 6,000 washers per day. Perhaps a lesser known company in the area, Google, which has a massive data storage facility.
