Cleanup in Tullahoma: what shapes the work
Arnold Air Force Base and its contractors bring workers who rotate in and out of the area, which keeps the rental market active. Landlords and property managers in Tullahoma often need cleanup coordinated with an owner or tenant who has already moved.
Because the city spans two counties, the sheriff's office that covers an address outside city limits depends on which county it is in.
