Tennessee recently received a $15,000 grant to publicize the state
nationally as an attractive location for retirees and to support continuing
education opportunities for retirement communities.
The
Retire Tennessee program is promoted by the website RetireTennessee.org, which
boasts Tennessee's lifestyle in a section called "the good life." Another
section boasts that Tennessee has no state property tax or a personal income
tax.
Tennessee is "a wonderful place to live your best life," said Karin
Miller, AARP communications director in Nashville.
"AARP
members who move here to retire tell us that the climate and the natural beauty
are big draws, as is the low cost of living."
