An article in the Clarksville Leaf Chronicle concerning new census figures places Clarksville's population just shy of 120,000.  Some dispute the figure as being too low and say it is now over 125,000.

I would agree that the population is more than 125,000.  BTW what is going on with the major retail project in Oak Grove to be called Oak Grove Village at Ft. Campbell?  Does anyone think it will ever materialize and why is on the Kentucky side of the city rather than the Tennessee side?

I thought Clarksville was actually closer to 140,000 than 120,000 especially with all the new growth since 2000. Those figures showed Clarksville at over 105,000 almost ten years ago, I find it hard to believe Clarksville has only gained 15,000 since then. The 2010 estimates will put my suspicions to rest.

Sales tax I would assume would be the major driver of putting a retail project in Oak Grove over Clarksville proper. I mean the two locales are indistinguishable there along the base anyway, so taking advantage of the lower sales tax rate in KY makes sense.
