At Traxion Materials, we recognize that strategic land use decisions create lasting impacts for economic growth, sustainability, and community development.
The recent approval by the Campbell County Commission to transfer industrial land to the county’s Industrial Development Board (IDB) represents a significant milestone with long-term potential for our region.
A Landmark Decision for Local Growth
During its July workshop session, the Campbell County Commission approved the transfer of Oswego Industrial Park property to the IDB. This decision opens the door for future industrial projects and community investments that can strengthen the county’s economy and create opportunities for both local businesses and Tennessee residents.
Further, it expands the opportunity for Campbell County to support environmentally-conscious business potential.
By placing this land under the management of the IDB, Campbell County is positioning itself to attract new industries and expand existing operations.
For companies like ours, Traxion Materials, this type of dynamic decision-making aligns with our own commitment to building networks and infrastructure that fuel long-term growth while prioritizing responsible, sustainable development and recycling opportunities for used tire waste.
Why It Matters to Business and Community
The transfer allows IDB to strategically recruit business partners, encourage job creation, and leverage resources that keep Campbell County competitive in a rapidly-changing marketplace.
At Traxion Materials, we share the same forward-thinking vision: transforming discarded tires into sustainable solutions through our Tire LifeCycle Network, ensuring resources are repurposed rather than wasted.
Just as the county invests in land use for the future, we invest in sustainable solutions that keep waste out of landfills and put valuable resources back to work for Tennessee.
At the July workshop, County Mayor Jack Lynch highlighted Traxion’s interest in expansion and a five-year plan that could lead to hundreds of jobs for the area.
“We have a company that would like to purchase the three lots of land left on it and I would like to move it over to the Industrial Development Board, so the county does not need to have an auction,” County Mayor Jack Lynch noted.
“The business owners are two lawyers in Knoxville and two local boys. They bought all JR’s tires and are already selling to Kentucky Power.”
This important story was recently featured on WLAF 1450 Radio, marking a significant milestone for Traxion’s expanding reach across Campbell County.
