Williamson County and more specifically town of Franklin.  (( History tidbit:  Williamson County was named for a NC resident Hugh Williamson a NC colonial leader and signer of the US Constitution from NC.  We called him the Ben Franklin of NC.  Lived in beautiful Edenton one of our colonial capital cities on the Inner Banks)  This history tidbit brought to you by https://www.visitnc.com/))

Speaking of Ben Franklin lets get back to Franklin which is named after THE Ben Franklin .   Downtown Franklin is just the best.  As the downtown group says America's Favorite downtown.  I think it is in the top tier for sure.  Downtown Franklin the county seat named after the "Ben Franklin of NC"

Franklin my favorite town in Tennessee I am not going to lie!

Oh I did!  Here is McEwen Northside.   Nice mixed use project.  They really need to get something going on the other side of the main retail street to build momentum with more retailers.  This reminds me a project Hines is doing in Cary a Raleigh suburb called Fenton.  McEwen Northside is home of Mitsubishi Motors North America.

It was a bank for years, most recently First Tennessee Bank. My grandmother owned a shop along Main Street for most of my young childhood, so downtown Franklin has a special place in my heart.

Cool Springs is not a walking area for sure. It is very linear in nature especially along the western side of I-65. It continues down I-65 into the Goosecreek area now almost to I-840 now where Dave Ramsey has his HQ. If you have time, go check out the Berry Farms area. It is all still a work in progress along with everything that is being built in Spring Hill.

It’s set to expand even further south with the new June Lake development and Buckner Road interchange / extension.

Wilson County: where I stayed in Mt Juliet lots of growth out here new apartments, SF homes etc.

as for your suburban counties they could probably all have their own threads as they are growing and very populous in their right.

Wilson County: Mt. Juliet may see a country music museum that honors Charlie Daniels, Tracy Lawrence, Darryl Worley, and others who lived there and did a lot for the community.  It will be on the vacant lot next to the new Charlie's Place commercial center.  A Kickstarter campaign is underway to raise funding.

Not to beat this dead horse in the ground, I think it’s a great idea to honor Charlie Daniel’s. But I still don’t understand this Mt Juliet stuff. Apparently that’s the way maybe he preferred it, why I’m not sure of . Here’s his official address per the tax records, he and his wife Hazel lived ( she still does) in Lebanon.

I can’t get past the paywall, but what I could see says 225 homes which is kind of what the picture shows. Does it give further info that says only 62 will be built?

[smeagolsfree]

The article says 225 Townhomes were approved on 62 lots which is what was sold.

Williamson County: The owners of a 200-acre farm in Franklin have announced plans to develop the property into a mixed-use "agri-hood."

The Short family, with development partners Town Planning and Urban Design Collaborative LLC and Southall Farm & Inn designer Craige Hoover, will be hosting a series of design workshops for the yet-to-be-named community between April 27 and May 2. 

“We have come to a point where growing crops no longer makes sense for us, but we didn’t want to just sell the farm to a developer," Bill Short and Mary Ann Warren said in a news release. Their family has farmed the land since 1887.

The community will feature a mix of housing types, including condos, apartments, townhomes and single-family residences, as well as commercial elements, and will offer options for rent and for sale.

Coffee County: The State's 2023-24 state budget includes $20.5 million to buy a 2,000-acre property dubbed the "Middle Tennessee I-24 Industrial Site." The Coffee County megasite is "the last one in the state of Tennessee of that size, and one of the last in the Southeast.” That's according to Stephen Crook, executive director of the Industrial Board of Coffee County. The site is about 50 miles southeast of Nashville and has received a number of scouting visits over the years, including from automakers. Infrastructure work will be required at the site.

Yeah!  That's the "Tennessee Way"!!!   Keep I-24 at 1960s standards with 2020s traffic volume, but pitch a huge industrial megasite as ideal for new plants. Ah... that infrastructure can wait! Not important.  [smdh]

Hey, credit where it's due.... I certainly give Wilson County enough grief when it makes, what I view to be anyway, as bad decisions, so they deserve praise for approving this relatively efficient development.  Hopefully this is  a catalyst for future suburban development in the Nashville metro!

Williamson County: Franklin's Poplar Homes will be a 546 home community on 300 acres by Meritage Homes near the intersection of Clovercroft Road and Market Street.

By 2030 I would expect Montgomery County's population to be over 250,000 if not sooner.

Wonder if then it would be considered part of the Nashville MSA by the Census Bureau?
