I mean technically, the very southwestern-most corner of the property is in Rutherford County. The track & stand are fully withing Wilson, however.

Sorry, I did not intend my post to be anything other then wondering why it was in the Williamson & Rutherford tread and not the Wilson . My bad.

By the way, wonder if this NASCAR thing really takes hold and this vision they have with multiple events. How long do you all think , until we start to see other developments at that exit.  Hotels, restaurants, retail...etc. 30,000 + attendance will need services.

The Nashville area is an ideal market for NASCAR, although that particular location is awful. I understand the need to have a speedway away from residential, but all around it is miles of nothing. As traffic on I-840 grows, let's hope that retail/restaurant/hotel build-up will follow.

Yeah…I don’t think a single exit on I-840 has added new hotels, gas stations, retail, etc…has it?

The first exit that's going to do that is Veterans Pkwy in western Murfreesboro/Blackman. I can see Stewart's Ferry pike (Gladeville) get built up, as well as Almaville Road southwest of Smyrna.

Tollgate Village, a large residential development with office space and planned retail, is just north of the Columbia Pike / US-31 and 840 exit.

How far away from the exit is it?  I can’t remember seeing it.

About half a mile. It’s between the Goose Creek Bypass / US 31 interchange and 840. Independence High School is between the development and the exit.

In Williamson County on 840/41A exit they have added a new gas station.  This is also where the "new" amphitheater is located.  I also believe a new WillCo school is being planned around here somewhere.  But most of the commercial/residential has been sprawling from the I-24 area.    From what I understand, the Veterans Pkwy exit (Rutherford County) will be a larger growth exit.  A Publix is coming not far from those Annandale apartments.

Well…after doing a little research, it looks like they’re getting ready to widen West Jefferson Pike (from I-840 into Smyrna) to 4 lanes…and Smyrna Ready Mix is building a 5 story headquarters right along I-840.  They own a lot of land on both sides of the exit and will help make it an eastern gateway into Smyrna, with their HQ along with trying to pull in other businesses, retail, homes, etc.  So…it looks like that exit is about to boom.

A mixed-use development that's anchored by a multi-story HQ for a construction materials vendor and a rock quarry is peak "it" city. There's nowhere to go but down from here.

An old Wynona tune put it like this...”when you hit rock bottom you’ve got two ways to go, straight up or sideways.” (Gee, I hope it ain’t sideways from here!)

When I say that exit is about to “boom”…I mean, it’s literally going to blow up…3-4 times daily.

You mean random mixed-use developments placed in the woods isn't just a Cool Springs or Thompson's Station thing?!

A Loves truck stop with Hardees, Petros and Godfather's Pizza just opened at the Couchville Pike exit (67 in Wilson County).  Also, again in Wilson County, the huge Rooms To Go Warehouse with retail outlet is accessible from Exit 67.

Makes sense, as Kroger is there...just down from the exit at Veterans and 96.

I've been wondering what that building is set to become; Jefferson Pike at four lanes....wow!  Thanks.

Most of I-840 through Williamson County is zoned for Rural Preservation. The cities of Thompson's Station and Fairview have their own requirements and the unincorporated community  of Triune recently was given TCA (Triune Character Area ((whatever that means)) zoning). So that, I guess explains the lack of Interchange development in Williamson County.

That section of Williamson County has a lot of hills and would be harder to develop anyways. I could see the Thompson’s Station exits building up, and the Triune/Arrington exit building up, but the rest of 840 staying pretty rural throughout Williamson Co.

A huge subdivision is planned by Kilter Land for 655 acres north of Red River Rd. and east of State Route 109 in Gallatin. No moniker has been given to the project yet. It will feature 1,040 single family homes, 140 attached family homes, and 1,110 townhomes in a first Phase.  Phase II would include 1.1 million sq. ft. of commercial/office, and 1.8 million sq. ft. of business park.   A network of trails and sidewalks are proposed with the plan along with keeping 177 acres as open space with a 14-acre public park and greenway easement.  A greenway trail along a creek is part of the plan as well.
