The Highland Rim Project
We’re developing rural towns and communities nestled in the bucolic hills of Tennessee and Kentucky.
In partnership with business owners, pastors and other community leaders, we’re investing to build thick communities that are conducive to a natural, human and uniquely American way of life.
Our focus is the Eastern Highland Rim — a region where families can set down roots, build businesses and participate in a flourishing local community.

The Vision
Our nation is in the midst of a generational people movement to small towns and rural areas.
Remote work enables a revolution in where people live and how they organize themselves into communities. People are, especially since Covid, proactively seeking communities that align with their values and way of life.
The knowledge economy worker can now work and live in a small town, uplifting areas that have struggled with economic depression for decades.
This presents a unique opportunity to build new types of communities that are conducive to a healthy, natural and American way of life.
