While Clarksville is crackling with growth across the map, the
area around Exit 1 of Interstate 24 is exploding.
County Commissioner Mark Kelly said the growth could be
attributed to the area's low cost of living, low crime rate and
proximity to the interstate, which makes it easier to live in
Clarksville while working in Nashville or Hopkinsville.
Kelly said the area is primarily residential, but with those
additional residences come a flurry of commercial developments. He said biggest jump in growth came when the
Great Escape 16 movie theater was built on Tiny Town Road in 2003.
Kelly expects more commercial growth after construction crews finish work on Tiny Town Road, which is scheduled for 2008.
