Whether
you're looking for a quality community
for your family or a good location for
your business, McKenzie's got you
covered.
Located in northwest
Tennessee, McKenzie boasts a population
of some 5,420 people within city limits
and many more just outside city limits.
McKenzie is the hub of the tri-counties
of Henry, Weakley and Carroll with most
of the town lying in Carroll County.
Known for its Southern hospitality,
McKenzie is a favorite place for many
retirees
and others from all parts of
the United States. We welcome you to visit us
and experience for yourself the benefits
of rural living in a temperate climate
in which you can enjoy each of the four
seasons.
With one of the
largest available workforces in the
area, it's ideal for businesses of all
sizes. It's located less than two hours
away from two major transportation
centers (Memphis and Nashville) and
affords easy access to interstates 40
and 65. Carroll County is also served by
an award winning airport with a 5,500
foot runway and by CSX Railways.
Combine that with a
quiet Southern town that still knows the
value of family and you've got a great
location, you've got McKenzie.
Education is a big part of Carroll
County and we recently invested more
than $20
million in new buildings and renovations
for the school system. At the next
level, Bethel College and the
Tennessee
Technology Center help provide the area
with top notch higher learning. Bethel
recently added a new football stadium,
soccer field and tennis courts as well
as a number of new housing units to its
campus.
McKenzie is also located in an
outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Our own
Carroll Lake provides a great area for
family activities including a picnic
area, golf course and of course fishing.
Nearby Kentucky Lake, just 30 minutes
away, is famous for its fishing and
hunting opportunities and often referred
to as "The Crappie Fishing Capitol of
the World" -- and the new 1000-acre
Carroll County recreational lake is just
20 minutes away.
Also nearby is The
Dixie Carter Performing Arts and
Academic Enrichment Center in Huntingdon
(our county seat) among
other attractions.
Adding to the
attraction is our Class-3
Fire
Department--the best rating of a city our
size in the state, which has a considerable
impact on insurance premiums--and our
outstanding Police Department, all of which
contribute to a high level of public welfare
and safety.
So if you're interested in good living,
abundant recreation, and real family values
that count come see us. The South is
where it's happening, and we're right in the
heart of it!
