The Commons

Legacy Deserving,
Collegedale Defining

The Commons is going to be the cultural and recreational center for the City of Collegedale and the eastern end of Hamilton County. Not only will The Commons be home to our new Community Center, but also the Collegedale Farmers Market. The center will showcase the natural beauty of Collegedale with its open green spaces and its event centers. The 56,000 square foot open-air Farmers Market will have room for hundreds of local farmers and artisans to showcase their products. When complete, The Commons will be a testament to the beauty of Collegedale and the foundation with which the city was built: the community.

The Commons will be the five year culmination of the joint efforts of Collegedale city leaders and its community.

Preservation

With the growing city development, people need to always remember the foundation of our city. Collegedale has some of the most beautiful views and most memorable homes in Tennessee. With the city development and other changes we are bringing to Collegedale, we do not want our community to forget where we began. Our goal is establish these historical centers so that as our children grow older, they will not forget the importance of our history. The Spring House is the first of many projects meant to ensure that the history and character of our town remains as our city grows. These pieces of history are what defines Collegedale, and they are a legacy that deserves to be preserved.

City Development

The Collegedale Tomorrow Foundation, comprised of the city’s leaders, works closely with the Collegedale community to ensure that the new city development are in the best interest of the city and its citizens. We want to connect Collegedale to greater opportunities while helping it maintain its identity.

Let's Build This Together
