East Works District, the massive reimagining of an office park near Cool Springs, appears to finally be moving forward with some adjustments.  There will now be a 70% increase in hotel rooms to 605, to go along with the 1,600 apartments, 520,000 sq. ft. of additional office space, and 64,000 sq. ft. of retail. Some of the structures might be as tall as 12 stories. It will be a 14 year roll-out in 6 phases. They hope to start Phase 1 in early 2021, with an opening of 2023.

Facebook is moving closer to the 1 million sq. ft. data center on 225 acres near the end of Gateway Drive in Gallatin. a 383 page document filed with the state shows that Facebook is moving forward and seeking many government approvals.

The plans, which do not mention Facebook by name, depict an H-shaped layout like the kind Facebook uses, with two long rectangular data centers connected in the middle by an office building.The plans identify July 1 as the preliminary start date for construction.

The document reveals the team of companies working on the Facebook project, including:

• Nashville's Barge Design Solutions, which prepared the plans filed with the state.
• Burns and MdDonnell, of Kansas City, is serving as architect and in several other engineering roles.  
• Peoples Associates Structural Engineers, which is headquartered in San Jose.
• Teecom, another San Francisco-area business, is serving as technology engineer.
• Hargis Engineers Inc., of Seattle, is listed as security engineer.
• 02 Design, of Minneapolis and Chicago, is landscape architect.
• RAS Design Group LLC, which spotlights past work for Facebook on its website, is listed in the document as "food service consultant."

Construction could continue in phases over the course of a decade, according to the plans.

When did Facebook announce this? And why is YouTube (google) mentioned?  Was a number of jobs announced?

Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital is planning a $24.6 million, 32,000 sq. ft. facility at the intersection of Veterans Parkway and Shores Rd. in Murfreesboro.  It will feature eight inpatients beds, eight emergency treatment rooms, imaging and lab services and medical office space. The beds will be transferred to the facility from Rutherford hospital’s main campus, according to a proposal submitted to the state.

I think it is only 100 jobs or so if it is like the project in Huntsville. I see no mention of YouTube or Google anywhere in the article other than this:

As of today, Facebook has 10 data centers open and five under construction around the world. The company continues to build more, as do other tech giants such as Amazon and Google (the latter has a data center in Clarksville). In February, Facebook powered up its data center in the Columbus, Ohio, area.

Wow.  They'll have St. Thomas Rutherford...VUMC...and Stonecrest (Tri-Star) all within just a few miles of one another.  I guess with over 300,000 residents, they can justify it.

[MTFAN]

St. Thomas is also building a 25 million dollar neighborhood hospital not far from the Vanderbilt hospital.

I'm not sure I fully understand the fight between Vandy and TriStar, but clearly Vandy is wanting to build a feeder network

TriStar has been aggressive in attempts to invade areas where the default on payment is low, which is understandable when considering where a substantial portion of their network is located, coupled with recent attempts and blocks by the state

Just my observation

To me it’s just strange there will be this many hospitals in the M’boro / Smyrna area...but we don’t see the same thing happening in Williamson County, which will have a similar population in the coming years.

[MTFAN]

It may be  because a lot of people come to Murfreesboro for medical care from for McMinville, Smithville, Shelbyville, Tullahoma, and Manchester.  I don't think Franklin has as many  feeder cities needing healthcare.  Plus Rutherford country is larger and growing faster.

Vandy already tried to expand into Williamson, but was denied by the state

What made the state change its mind?

[MLBrumby]

The Tennessean has an article online today about a 'hotel, multifamily' project for 'east Franklin'. I cannot stand the Tennessean now that they've moved to Knoxville and Getahn Ward no longer is there. So I don't have a subscription anymore. If anyone has any insight (please don't go to the Tennessean site), it might be interesting to see.

^ ^ ^ This is their tardy report on East Works, which the other dailies reported last week.  I posted about it April 7th on this thread.
