March 20, 2008--Lancaster, Ky.
Thomas D. Hobbs, President of T.D.Hobbs Associates, LLC - a market research firm based in Danville, Ky. - has recently begun working with the Garrard County Economic Development Director Nathan Mick to identify and target potential businesses looking to start and/or relocate their operations in the Bluegrass region of the Commonwealth.
T.D.Hobbs Associates will provide market research services and work intimately with the Garrard County Economic Development Office, the county Judge-Executive, Lancaster mayor's office, and the Garrard County Chamber of Commerce to gain an understanding of the history of area and priorities of the communities' plans for growth.
As the eighth fastest growing county in the Commonwealth, Garrard County is seeking to exploit its geographic position and unique resources to attract a variety of industries to the county, as well as develop tourism with the historic Grand Theater project in downtown Lancaster, the childhood home of famed ax-wielding prohibitionist Carrie Nation, and the authentic site of Uncle Tom's Cabin from which Harriet Beecher Stowe based her American literary classic of the same name.
Hobbs says, "It's a real pleasure to be working with the leaders of Lancaster and Garrard County as they push their local economy forward into the 21st century. Mr. Mick has done a outstanding job of identifying opportunities that can have an immediate impact on the county and the support of the local and county governments will be key in achieving these ambitious goals."
Founded in February 2008, T.D.Hobbs Associates, LLC, provides customized market research solutions for small- and mid-sized businesses, government organizations, and non-profit entities.
