"Now is Nashville’s time," said Scott Carey, managing partner of Baker, Donelson, Bearman, Caldwell & Berkowitz’s Nashville office. "We’re getting a lot of people sending their resumes in from D.C. or New York or Chicago who may have some tie to the South and see what a great quality of life it is."
