What is Streets of Brentwood?

Much ado about something is filling the conversation of Brentwood residents at the coffee station and during lunch. Emotions are high and all of it is still speculation until the final plans for the Streets of Brentwood are completed and approved. “For almost 20 years, Brentwood has sought an identifiable town center. THE STREETS OF BRENTWOOD is the latest and the most substantial step towards realizing that dream,” states the new Facebook page.

Developers have asked for some time to re-evaluate and make sure they are hearing the community and considering their thoughts before asking for a rezoning. Originally the final vote was scheduled for the January 28th meeting, but now will likely be taken up in February. There are a lot of unknowns with this type of development but the concept has been used across the nation with great success. Multi-use developments allow a larger population to live in comfort. No one can deny that Brentwood is growing and that change is coming. The discussion is if this is the right change.

This project is taking special consideration for waste water development needs, sight and sound barriers and other improvements to the area that benefits the entire community. It is proposing retailers and restaurants not currently found in Tennessee. For every opponent you can find an excited resident looking forward to the unique opportunities and experiences a Town Center will bring.

Keep your eyes on the Williamson source as we will be offering personal opinions on this development from your neighbors in the near future.
