Any recent news on the Sazerac distillery in the Boro?

[smeagolsfree]

This was from Nov. In the NBJ.

 

Then: Louisiana-based liquor giant Sazerac Co. was on the hunt for a Middle Tennessee distillery. The Daily News Journal reported that the company, which makes more than 30 bourbons, such as Buffalo Trace and Pappy Van Winkle, had its eyes on a Murfreesboro property.

Now: This spring, Sazerac landed required regulatory approval from the Murfreesboro City Council for its planned distillery at a 55-acre property on Asbury Road, off Interstate 24. In July, the company officially bought the land for $86 million.

Next: Sazerac hopes to open its full development — including two barrel warehouses and a visitor center — by 2020. The company plans to employ 20 to 25 full-time workers and, according to media reports, expects the complex to draw 50,000 tourists annually

I wonder if Mars has gotten more stringent with their bring you pet to the office rules? I would think they would be a bit pickier since the building is brand new. Campus looks awesome!

This screenshot from Smeagolsfree's excellent development map shows the site highlighted in teal at the center of the frame:

I was thinking it was going here.    the original description a few months ago said it was where construction vehicles were currently parking during the expansion of The Heritage.

[UTgrad09]

Smart of Brentwood to keep a close eye on that high density housing. 

[smeagolsfree]

It may be there. Sometimes its hard to determine the right location. I have had the location on the map for over a year too.

So if someone takes a drive down there, give me a heads up.

Ron,

[smeagolsfree]

There are rumors going around that Costco is coming to Murfreesboro. Would be a nice addition to the city as the closest is in Cool Springs.

Also, does anyone know what's going on at the corner of Hwy 99 and I-24? I know The Outpost is building a big indoor gun range, but they've cleared out a TON of land there. My guess would be strip malls and hotels, but I just can't find anything else on it.

[markhollin]

Xtend Healthcare is go into expand its Hendersonville based national HQ by 200 employees. No word yet on what the additions to their building will look like.

So I found the plans that I had seen earlier for West Gate (the large area getting cleared out). I think I know where the Costco is going...

This seems like a very big deal to me.  Mitsubishi NA's move to Franklin represents a $18.5 million investment and 200 jobs from Cypress, CA.
