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."
