Clarksville Mayoral Candidates Split on Industrial Recruiting

By Chris Taylor

Clarksville, TN – Clarksville's mayoral candidates differ on their views of what extent they would be involved in industrial recruitment. Kim McMillan says it's important to have a mayor that understands Clarksville's impact on the state's economy and wants to be actively involved in recruiting. Jeff Burkhart isn't sure what role he'd play, but says he would do anything to help the Industrial Development Board and the Chamber of Commerce. The Clarksville Leaf Chronicle reports Gabriel Segovia also highlighted the work of those organizations and says he would defer recruiting to them.
