Senator Bill Hagerty, who represents Tennessee in the U.S. Senate, highlighted the contributions of several businesses in Tennessee through a series of posts on his social media account between August 18 and August 20, 2025.
On August 18, Senator Hagerty visited Aviagen in Pikeville and shared his impressions: “Visited Aviagen in Pikeville, a global leader in poultry breeding. The team here is driving progress that strengthens Tennessee’s economy and helps feed communities worldwide.”
The following day, he commented on the importance of natural resources to the state’s economy with a post about Copperhill Quarry: “Tennessee’s natural resources are a cornerstone of our infrastructure and economy. At Copperhill Quarry, they’re supplying the stone and materials that keep America building.” This statement reflects the role that quarrying operations play in providing essential construction materials for infrastructure projects throughout the United States.
On August 20, Senator Hagerty focused on furniture manufacturing during his visit to Dayton: “American comfort starts here. The @lazboy Innovation Center in Dayton blends timeless craftsmanship with modern design, showing that quality furniture manufacturing is alive and well in Tennessee.” His remarks underscore ongoing efforts by local manufacturers to combine traditional skills with innovation.
These posts come as part of Senator Hagerty’s ongoing engagement with businesses across Tennessee. As a member of Congress since 2021, he has frequently emphasized economic development and support for industries central to the state’s growth.
