Ramsey Solutions hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, September 6 in celebration of the official opening of its new corporate headquarters in Franklin with Governor Bill Lee as the special guest. The new headquarters is located at 1011 Reams Fleming Blvd, Franklin.
“I used to be in the construction business so the company I used to run built buildings just like this one but I’ve only been to a few ribbon cuttings as the Governor. It’s a great honor to participate in something like this, it reminds me that we need to keep our focus on the things that matter, good jobs, good schools, and safe neighborhoods,” said Governor Lee.
“When people have access to a good job, it’s life-changing. So, whenever I do a ribbon-cutting like this and come to a new facility that has a lot of promise for changing people’s lives, it’s a great honor.”
