Pickett
County is Seeking 3-Star Certification!
|
The
Three-Star Program is designed as a road map to assist
local communities in their effort to achieve excellence
in community and economic development. Participating
communities are guided through a comprehensive plan
of essential criteria developed by local economic
development professionals and a cooperative collaboration
of various state agencies. These combined efforts
have made the Three-Star Program an important component
of our state's economic strategy.
|
|
Committed
to the Future of Tennessee
|
|
This
program is designed to help communities take full
advantage of economic development opportunities. The
goals are to preserve existing employment, create
new employment opportunities, increase Tennessee family
income, improve quality of life and create a strong
leadership base.
|
|
Certification
Process
|
|
To
achieve Three-Star certification, communities must
complete a formal review and evaluation process conducted
by a team of economic and community development (ECD)
professionals.
|
|
Recertification
Process
|
|
Three-Star
Communities are recertified annually to ensure each
has maintained the basic program requirements and
added new elements to expand or enhance their development
plans.
|
Five
Steps to Three-Star Status
-
An ECD team member works with the community to meet
certification criteria. See Three-Star Community
Criteria.
-
The community develops, then submits to ECD a strategy
documenting that the criteria have been met.
-
The review team evaluates the community and makes
recommendations on how to improve economic competitiveness.
-
The review team recommends Three-Star certification
to the Governor.
-
The Governor personally presents the Three-Star
Award to the community.
