Dyersburg breaks ground on spec building

Officials with the city of Dyersburg and Dyer County have broken ground on a new 100,000-square-foot speculative industrial building. The structure is the culmination of years of teamwork from the Dyersburg IDB, city of Dyersburg, Dyer County government, Dyersburg Electric and numerous community members. The site was originally purchased in 1998. Funding for the project was provided through a $5 million grant from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.
