Business, community and government leaders will have a chance to learn why Williamson County remains such an attractive destination for businesses and residents at Williamson, Inc.’s Outlook Williamson.

The half-day economic summit will be Wednesday, April 24 from 7:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. at The Factory at Franklin’s Liberty Hall, located at 230 Franklin Rd.

The event will consist of three 45-minute sessions with industry-leading experts and developers, who will provide an in-depth view of how Williamson County’s economy compares nationally and regionally, based on the latest growth projections and statistical data.

“This year’s Outlook Williamson summit is designed to give an in-depth understanding of where Williamson County is as an economy and community, why it remains such a desirable business location and a look forward at some of the county’s most significant new developments,” said Williamson, Inc. President and CEO Matt Largen.
