Fueled by the impressive growth of Vonore’s local manufacturing, construction, agricultural and tourism industries, its pro-business economic development office, and one of the top pools of skilled workers and retirees in East Tennessee, the area has become a prime venue for economic prosperity. The location is an easy commute from thriving urban districts, but feels far enough away to attract affluent residents seeking the unique beauty, lush landscape and solitude offered by the Smokey Mountains and Tellico Lake.
