Despite being known colloquially as “Music City”, Nashville is actually supported by a broadly diversified local economy. The city has fashioned itself into a major force in healthcare, publishing, auto part production, higher education, transportation technology, and tourism. With the constant influx of students, tourists, and businesses moving through the city, Nashville has relied on its transportation and shipping infrastructure to transport people and goods into and out of the area with speed and efficiency.
