Mt. Juliet is located approximately 17 miles east of Nashville on Interstate 40 and is only about 15 minutes from the Nashville International Airport. Known as the "City Between the Lakes," we are situated between Old Hickory Lake on the Cumberland River and J. Percy Priest Lake on the Stones River. Mt. Juliet is a great place to call home, locate an industry or business, and enjoy a quiet, relaxing lifestyle. Our community delivers what many areas only promise: the charm of small town life amid scenic rolling hills and sparkling lakes, all in close proximity to major shopping and entertainment. We offer a diversified industrial base, a focused business community, quality education, and traditional family values. A complementary mix of historic and cosmopolitan allure, a low cost of living, unique and affordable residential areas, and abundant parks and waterways are only a few of the qualities that make this community attractive to both businesses and residents. Mt. Juliet, although very diverse and strongly influenced by its heritage and rich history, is deeply committed to the bright future that lies ahead.

While those words (or something similar) are what we hear at the start of the Kentucky Derby and other horse races, it also describes the first couple of months here at the Chamber as well. If the Chamber Year was to be compared to a large oval racetrack then you would say we are about to enter turn one with three more turns (quarters) to go. And if I were the race announcer and giving the updates at each length of the track I would be very excited about our track position! I would be raising my voice and letting folks know that we are ahead of the pack and looking strong. I might even be so excited that I would say we have opened up a gap already as we head into turn one. Albeit that 2010 still has a long way to go and the race will have its bumps along the way, and we may have unexpected competition along the way; but so far so good! A lot of preparation, training, hard work, and experience goes into winning these annual races, and it is great to know that your Chamber is up to the challenge.
