It maybe a plus for older workers and managment, who crave to get away from the hustle and bustle of Cali and other large cities.
But to retain or attract young talent, will be tough. They'd be lucky to have McDonalds around. its very tough to live and work in these small towns if your young, you want to go out, etc and you just can't. THere is no social life at all.
Only about 535 of Nissan's headquarters employees have decided to make the move to Tennessee from their homes in California, but Nissan said it has received more than 40,000 applications for the remaining job openings, and that it has already filled or made offers in 60 percent of the vacancies.
All of this comes amid a sales slump for Nissan. Ghosn said the downturn was expected and that the move has not been a distraction. The company expects new car models to boost sales this fall.
"You have to look at it a year, two years down the road, three years down the road and then you can ask of yourself if this is the right decision," Ghosn said of the move to Middle Tennessee.

One more thing - 285 north/west off of I-20 is the Autobahn. Umm, my SR20 Sentra will do 120 mph.
