ECD Launches Transparency Website

OpenECD.tn.gov to Archive Public Information and Documents Pertaining to the Department

NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development today announced the launch of its transparency website, OpenECD.tn.gov. The website is designed to be a user-friendly site where the public can easily access public information and documents pertaining to ECD grants and incentives.

“Our department wants to provide the public with as much information as possible,” Bill Hagerty, commissioner, ECD, said. “It is important to Governor Haslam, and to all of us, that we operate as an open and transparent government. These documents have always been available to the public, but we wanted to make them more easily accessible to the public, and we have accomplished that with OpenECD.tn.gov.”

OpenECD.tn.gov will be updated quarterly. The public can sign up to receive email alerts notifying the recipient when information has been added and/or updated. Visit OpenECD.tn.gov for more information.
