Steamboat Transportation Group officials announced that the company will move to Brentwood from Nashville, a move that is eventually expected to result in 60 jobs.
According to a statement from the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (TNDEC), the effort will represent a $2 million investment.
Steamboat Transportation Group is a third-party logistics company that provides freight transportation. Moving a little south will create 40 jobs from Nashville to Williamson County, according to a press release, with the goal of eventually employing 100 people. The company’s headquarters are located at 3213 West End Ave. It will now be located at 105 Continental Place.
The release does not refer to any incentives that TNDEC may offer. Management said the relocation is taking place, in part, because Steamboat needs more space to grow in.
“We are excited to continue expanding our business in Middle Tennessee in the coming years, and we are very grateful for the show of support from TVA and the state of Tennessee,” said Jake Geismar, co-founder and CEO of Steamboat, in the release.
“I want to thank our current team members, who represent our brand with the utmost integrity and in recognition of the leadership they have provided to help Steamboat achieve the success it has already achieved. They are currently enrolled in colleges and universities throughout this great state, and our recruiting efforts are growing.”
TNECD has supported 20 economic development projects in Williamson County since 2019, according to Commissioner Stuart McWhorter.
