Three-Star


 
Rhea County is a Three-Star community and has been for 30 years.

The Three-Star program is a roadmap designed by the Governor to assist urban and rural communities in their effort to achieve excellence in community and economic development. The program fosters community consensus toward accomplishing developmental goals and objectives, thus creating an environment for businesses and citizens of Tennessee to profit and succeed. It is the responsibility of the RETC to fulfill the stringent requirements of the Three-Star program, which include the creation, execution, and a yearly update of a Five-Year Asset-Based Strategic Plan. Communities who show performance excellence in the Three-Star program are awarded with incentives and grants to address their development issues.
