  Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty met with upper East Tennessee economic development professionals on February 23 to provide a one-year report on the governor's reorganization plan. Commissioner Hagerty said the administration has reduced the budget by more than $2 billion. As it relates to his department, he reported that they have 44 percent fewer employees than a year ago, but 77 percent more of the people on staff are working with prospects.
