From NewsChannel 9: A company that creates tiny homes is expanding to Bradley County with a new facility, bringing more job opportunities to the area, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNECD) says.

 

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee, Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter and Wind River Custom Homes, LLC officials made the announcement Tuesday.

 

A release says Wind River will create 77 new jobs and invest $2.5 million through the expansion and relocation of its operations from Apison to Cleveland, Tennessee.

 

The new 92,000-square-foot facility will increase the company’s current production time of 30 housing units per year, as well as allow Wind River to expand into the modular home building industry.

 

Wind River Custom Homes, LLC is a Tennessee-based custom home builder that specializes in designing and manufacturing park model RVs. Wind River will employ nearly 120 Tennesseans as a result of the project.

 

Since 2019, TNECD says they’ve supported nearly 10 economic development projects in Bradley County, resulting in around 2,200 job commitments and $786 million in capital investment.
