A major announcement. At least 1000 new jobs are coming to Nashville. HCA, one of the largest employers in Middle Tennessee, is expanding. It's another sign Nashville is becoming the state's healthcare capitol. HCA plans to build two towers on an abandoned construction site in West End, cleaning up a midtown eyesore and offering jobs with close to 6-figure salaries.
"This is home for us," says HCA CEO Richard Bracken. "We don't want to go anywhere else, we've never wanted to go anywhere else."
With that, a $200 million decision was made. Plans to morph an abandoned construction site into 2 corporate tower headquarters, housing both Parallon Business Solutions and the Sarah Cannon Research Institute.
"When you think about how that site is going to be transformed with development all around it, it's going to be an incredible win for the city of Nashville," says Mayor Karl Dean.
Thursday's announcement is already revving up HCA's expansion to be a huge economic engine for the city, with 1000 new high-paying jobs and almost 1000 more transferring from Williamson County and other Nashville offices.
"The truth is, all jobs are not created equal," says Governor Bill Haslam. "These are jobs that are gonna average near 6 figures and jobs any city and state would want."
Those jobs reportedly pay anywhere between $85,000-$90,000 a year with benefits including annual employee stipends. HCA is still negotiating the property lease agreement, which will likely be presented to City Council for final approval some time after November.

Miss. chooses new firm to run Woodville prison
May 18, 2013 20:50 GMT
WOODVILLE, Miss. (AP) -- Mississippi officials have picked a new company to run the Wilkinson County Correctional Facility.
Utah-based Management and Training Corp. announced Friday that the Mississippi Department of Corrections has chosen it to run the 1,000-bed prison starting July 1, the Natchez Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/10MvOGv).
Corrections Corporation of America, based in Nashville, Tenn., had run the prison since 1998. MTC says it will keep "the vast majority" of employees.
MTC will get a five-year contract to run the prison with two one-year options. Last year, officials chose MTC to take over East Mississippi Correctional Facility, the Walnut Grove Correctional Facility and the Marshall County Correctional Facility from the GEO Group. MTC won 10-year contracts for each.
CCA still runs the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility and the Adams County Correctional Center in Mississippi.
