Relative to most examples of sprawlburbia, DW communities are quite dense. 

M'boro will continue to spread at blistering speed. I'd like to see it begin to take measures to build a denser core.

I am an unabashed Clarksville booster as I enjoyed my time at Austin Peay (before I went to Engineering college) and watched  my school go from the basketball doormat of the Ohio Valley Conference to a top  20, nationally recognized basketball program. I now wonder what the advantage is in abandoning the very serviceable Dunn Center for the new arena. I watched Peay beat Michigan State in there once. But I supposed the Events Center will new and shiny and I guess there are advantages to being a renter over being an owner. The current Dunn Center (up to 10,000 capacity)....

Austin Peay State has done a lot to improve it's campus (still needs a new Library) with landscaping, new buildings and expansion.

One of the many sinkholes on campus....

And they built one of the finest FCS (Division 2) football stadiums a few years ago.

  

Robb's Report listed the APSU Mabry Concert Hall as one of the 10 best concert halls in America. True!

Austin Peay plans to cap it's enrollment at about 12,000 and concentrate on being more selective on who is accepted into the University. It is an incredible asset to Clarksville's emergence as an important city in it's own right  and not just an appendage of Nashville. The City has an estimated, 2020 population of 165,000 with a Metro population of 305,000. It is a big city in it's own right and is starting to put it's big city pants on with a development like this. 

However, I will be at the new arena to watch my beloved Govs play basketball and catch some minor league hockey also. I suppose being the primary tenant of a modest sized (5,000 seats) state of the art arena will be an improvement in recruiting and fan experience.

Little known fact... the state bought the campus of Montgomery Academy after it left Clarksville in the early 20th Century to put roots down in Memphis and eventually become known as Rhodes College. 

[MidTenn1]

It's interesting that the Riverview Inn will be branded as a Hilton now. It will be the centerpiece of an arena associated development.

Clarksville is getting so fancy-schmancy I may have to start wearing a clean shirt when I go visit.

That side of the city will be the booming side for the foreseeable future given the ample amounts of relatively flat land and ease of access to I-840.

I'm surprised people are still wanting to build entertainment venues right now. Looks nice regardless.

They will almost have to put another light in for this. Turning left onto Nolensville is almost impossible near this section.

I think they are ahead of the curve.  Great time in my opinion as there is a ton of people waiting to get back out.

GM will retool its Spring Hill plant to make a new electric SUV (Cadillac Lyriq).  There could be other GM electric vehicles made there eventually as well. This will be a$2 billion investment, the largest expansion investment in state history.

“We are committed to investing in the U.S., our employees and our communities,” GM Chairman and CEO Mary Barra said in a statement. “These investments underscore the success of our vehicles today, and our vision of an all-electric future.”

This massive expansion could spur a lot of ancillary support manufacturing for the electric vehicle industry in the area as well.
