Aspire has been a game changer for Clarksville in attracting new industry and more jobs, as well as supporting local issues. We have been a member since inception and have increased our pledges every year based upon results in recruiting industry and quality of life issues. Where would we be without it?
Dr. Mike Licari, Austin Peay State University
The Aspire Foundation has been one of the key drivers of Clarksville's economic growth, especially in the Industrial Park, and it's been very inspiring to work with them on a new vision for Clarksville. We benefit from the economic growth in this community, and we contribute to the economic growth in this community. When Austin Peay wins, Clarksville Montgomery County wins and vice versa.
