The Roane Alliance

The Roane Alliance is Roane County, Tennessee's economic development organization and is a 501©6 non-profit organization that is an umbrella over the Roane County Industrial Development Board, Visitors Bureau and Chamber. Each of the partner organizations have a Board of Directors, while the Roane Alliance Board also acts as the Joint Economic & Community Development Board (JECDB) for the county. The Roane Alliance staff works to support the mission to create an environment that promotes job creation, economic development, enhanced quality of life, education and workforce development.
