iHeartMedia has selected Nashville as the location for iHeartRadio's second digital headquarters, expanding its current New York-based digital team. Nashville -- best known as one of the nation's leading music scenes -- also continues to see rapid growth in the technology space, with a wide range of companies -- from small tech startups to major Fortune 500 companies -- building offices and hubs in the Music City.

Nashville's music culture, eccentric vibe and lower cost of living continues to attract young and inspiring millennials, students and startups. Nashville also is home to 20 universities and colleges with a number of highly regarded technology programs, fostering some of the strongest tech talent in the country today.

And replacing boomers (and Gen-Xers, too) with millennials.

iHeart could not have picked a better place for plentiful talent at that age, given the fact that most people living inside the loop of Nashville are under 30. This will be interesting.
