Part of the reason for the growth is the city’s close location to major interstates -- Interstate 24 runs through the city limits and Interstates 65 and 40 are within 15 miles -- as well as the availability of major city resources in Nashville and nearby Murfreesboro. The northernmost city in Rutherford County, La Vergne is proud to be the home to international companies such as Bridgestone, Ingram Books, Ingram Entertainment, Waldenbooks, Hollywood Video, and more.

In recent years, the industrial boom in the city has multiplied numerous times, adding such well-respected companies as Nokian Tires, United Stationers, Quality Industries, Thompson Machinery, Square D and Whirlpool Corporation.

The numerous employment opportunities, combined with a low city property tax (50 cents per $100 assessed value), access to Percy Priest Lake and location (just seven miles from Nashville International Airport and two miles from the Smyrna Airport) are just some of the advantages to living in La Vergne
