“Our field staff knew that communities throughout the region were eager for planning assistance. Boyette worked with us to develop The Valley Targeted and Prepared Community Program (The Valley TaP Program), which gives our communities access to an innovative strategic planning process to identify key target industries and actively recruit those industries. This wonderful and unique partnership between TVA” Boyette Levy and communities throughout the Valley has been invaluable in planning for the future.”
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) asked Boyette to partner with TVA to develop a unique community development authority to strengthen economic and community development efforts throughout its service area. Boyette developed the Valley Targeted and Prepared Community Program (Valley TaP), which offers an innovative strategic planning process to benefit communities in the TVA region. This process includes an in-depth evaluation of a communityĆs resources and strengths to target and recruit specific industry segments, which could result in additional jobs and investments. Communities are selected through an annual application and independent evaluation process, which is administered by Boyette.
