Retail Coming to Smyrna

Our sister city Smyrna has their act together. Members of their city council are heading to Las Vegas in the coming weeks to attend a "Shopping Center" convention. At this event, they will meet with developers to entice them to bring their stores, etc. to their town. I think LaVergne needs to send some people as well! We need some strong anchor stores so that we can move away from just being an industrial town and get some retail going!

Meanwhile, here's what Smyrna has coming in:

Off Industrial Rd.: Target (confirmed), movie theater, hotel, apartment complex. This is being brought in by Colonial Development of Kentucky.

Between Kroger & Publix: Home Depot. This will be a fancy one with a dressy facade.

Near Nissan: Big strip mall to include Starbucks, Burger King, other fast food, shopping center, and some medium density housing.

I heard there's another movie theater coming too (next to Lowe's) - it even has a sign that it's coming. Unfortunately, the planning commission of Smyrna hasn't addressed this yet. So we'll see.
