​About Vision 20/20

Bartlett is the 10th largest city in Tennessee and serves as the hub for a market of more than 250,000 residents within the Memphis Metropolitan area. The area consists of a strong and diversified business community and workforce. The Bartlett Area Chamber of Commerce’s (BACC) strategy is to define the economic strengths of the community and develop and implement a cohesive long term plan of action resulting in sustainable capital investments and job growth.

In 2007, the BACC created a public/private partnership to embark on a three-year economic development initiative (Phase I) aimed at: identifying stakeholders, securing initial funding, hiring a full-time economic development professional, assessing the area’s strengths and the development of a conceptual plan. With impressive results, Phase I was completed in June 2010. Upon completion, the BACC Board of Directors and Strategic Partners have unanimously approved moving forward to Phase II.

Phase II of the BACC’s economic development initiative, was launched in July of 2010 as “Vision 20/20 A Clear Vision for the Future.” This program is the first comprehensive economic development strategy to encompass Bartlett and the Northeast Corridor of Shelby County. It targets specific industries, includes a detailed course of action and provides an outline of goals & objectives. Four target growth industries have been identified as major focal points of the initiative. The long-term plan will also address other major topics such as Workforce Development, Office/Industrial Park Development, Existing Business and Retention, Community Development and Revitalization.
