A major announcement. At least 1000 new jobs are coming to Nashville. HCA, one of the largest employers in Middle Tennessee, is expanding. It's another sign Nashville is becoming the state's healthcare capitol. HCA plans to build two towers on an abandoned construction site in West End, cleaning up a midtown eyesore and offering jobs with close to 6-figure salaries.
"This is home for us," says HCA CEO Richard Bracken. "We don't want to go anywhere else, we've never wanted to go anywhere else."
With that, a $200 million decision was made. Plans to morph an abandoned construction site into 2 corporate tower headquarters, housing both Parallon Business Solutions and the Sarah Cannon Research Institute.
"When you think about how that site is going to be transformed with development all around it, it's going to be an incredible win for the city of Nashville," says Mayor Karl Dean.
Thursday's announcement is already revving up HCA's expansion to be a huge economic engine for the city, with 1000 new high-paying jobs and almost 1000 more transferring from Williamson County and other Nashville offices.
"The truth is, all jobs are not created equal," says Governor Bill Haslam. "These are jobs that are gonna average near 6 figures and jobs any city and state would want."
Those jobs reportedly pay anywhere between $85,000-$90,000 a year with benefits including annual employee stipends. HCA is still negotiating the property lease agreement, which will likely be presented to City Council for final approval some time after November.

Houston brother will be his own attorney in court
June 18, 2013 13:02 GMT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Roane County man will face federal gun violation charges next month without an attorney.
The Knoxville News Sentinel (http://bit.ly/17VlXpM ) reported Rocky Joe Houston will represent himself on a charge of possession of a gun by a felon.
The charge came after Houston earlier represented himself in state court on charges stemming from a police chase. He was convicted of evading arrest and reckless endangerment.
Houston and his brother, Leon Houston, were tried, but not convicted, in the 2006 shooting deaths of a Roane County deputy and his ride-along companion.
In federal court, Rocky Joe Houston is claiming the officer who charged him with the felony had no legal authority.
