3 From the Chairman

First, thank you to each and every member who has invested his or her valuable resources in our Chamber. Without our members, the work that we do for our local businesses would not be possible.

I have been a part of this community since 1991 when I was stationed here as a member of the United States Air Force. When I decided to move on from my military career, I knew that there was no other place that I wanted to live than Clarksville, Tennessee. To this day, I am continually surprised by the diversity, giving nature and friendliness of the people that call Clarksville home. As the Chairman, I want to encourage each of you to be a part of growing our dynamic business landscape and enhancing the ideals of living and shopping local. There are so many options for dining, shopping and entertainment right in our own backyard. Every time we take advantage of what’s available, we keep valuable resources within the Montgomery County lines because, as we know a dollar spent here continues to roll over in our own community but when it leaves it’s tough to get back.

Whatever your needs or interests are, I feel confident that you will be able to find a program through the Chamber that will benefit you and your business. I encourage you to get involved with one of our committees or professional development opportunities and begin building relationships with other business owners. The relationships that you establish because of networking among your peers will create lasting benefits for your business. Rest assured that your Chamber membership is going to work for you.

The Chamber is host to numerous excellent events each month that offer our members the opportunity to meet people in other sectors and learn new business best practices. Some of them include the Power Breakfast series, Women In Business luncheons, Business After Hours, as well as our popular Business Before Hours event. Along with the monthly events, the Chamber hosts annual gatherings, which allow our membership to come together to celebrate our business accomplishments amongst our peers. Each year, we hold the Annual Dinner & Gala, an annual Golf Scramble and the Home & Garden Show, which all serve as great relationship building and networking events for our members.

The Chamber is currently moving forward with exciting marketing and advertising initiatives and your business needs to be a part of that momentum. To help you stay informed you can download our very popular mobile app through the Apple App Store by searching Clarksville Area Chamber. The app offers full member listings with GPS enabled maps, contact information and general community information. We also have a text club you can join by simply texting “Business” to 68683 that will give you up to the minute news and alerts. We also offer excellent advertising opportunities though the ChamberWorks Newsletter, on our website, our app and also through direct e-mail marketing. No matter how you want to get your message to other Chamber members, we have the solution to work for you.

We hope that just as in years past you ﬁnd this Community Guide and Directory to be your go-to guide for local information. For those new to the community, welcome to your new home and we are incredibly glad to have you. Our mission is to ﬁll the pages with information that will make your relocation to this community easier. For those that have been here a while, we hope you use this book to guide you and open yourself up to the many incredible things your home has to offer.

4 5 A Look At Clarksville

Clarksville-Montgomery County is a community experiencing a tremendous amount of growth and progress. Make your way to the river and there you will ﬁnd the Clarksville Marina at Liberty Park. It features boat slips, boat storage, an extended RiverWalk, an amphitheater, park amenities along with two beautiful event centers – Freedom Point and the Wilma Rudolph Event Center. Recently, the Liberty Park Grill was opened, serving as the ﬁrst of many dining and retail establishments that will call the Marina home.

Clarksville’s Fort Deﬁance, a well-preserved Civil War outpost that was used by the Confederate Army, is open seven days a week for those who want to dive into Clarksville’s Civil War history. It overlooks both the Cumberland and Red Rivers and the Interpretive Center offers detailed insight into Clarksville’s role in the War Between the States. The Clarksville Greenway is moving forward on new enhancements, which will extend the trails near the Cumberland River in downtown Clarksville. The City of Clarksville and area businesses have made the trail extension possible for residents of the community to enjoy in the coming years.

As the community grows, the need for more schools increases. Oakland Elementary, Clarksville Montgomery County’s 24th elementary school, will be built on a 27-acre site northeast of the intersection of Current and Oakland roads. This will bring the total number of schools in the community up to 39. Along with the excellent elementary and middle school options, CMCSS offers ﬁve academies within the High Schools offering specialized training in STEM, Visual Arts, Agriculture, Criminal Justice, Healthcare and Finance. Montgomery County also opened the new state-of-the-art airport terminal, Clarksvillle Regional Airport, off Airport Road, to accommodate business and private planes as well as some Fort Campbell air trafﬁc.

Workforce Essentials also had an exciting year, as they opened their new, state-of-the-art administrative headquarters and Career Center in July. The new facility, located on Madison Street, will better serve the needs of the community by assisting our local citizens with becoming self-sufﬁcient through job training and placement assistance.

In 2015, the community will also begin to see needed improvements to roads, including the widening of Rossview Road at Exit 8. This advancement to the infrastructure is a direct result of the incoming Hankook Tire facility, which will bring 1,800 jobs and over $800 million in direct capital investment to the community. Hankook, which is situated on 469 acres in the southern portion of the Corporate Business Park, will ofﬁcially begin construction of the 1.5 million square foot facility in the fall of 2014. 6 History

In 1784, after years of exploring and hunting on the land that would eventually become what we know as Clarksville- Montgomery County, Tennessee, John Montgomery decided that this was a lucrative area to settle. Being a man of vision and an excellent promoter, he saw the need for a town downstream from Nashville. Together with Martin Armstrong, Montgomery chose 640 acres just south of the junction of the Cumberland and Red Rivers.

In planning the town, Armstrong began at the river bank and laid off 12 squares of four acres each and then four more squares, each with two acres. The north and south streets beginning at the river were named Water (now Riverside Drive), Spring, First, Second, and Third. The east and west streets beginning at the south side were named Commerce, Franklin, Main, Washington (now College Street), and Jefferson.

Named for George Rogers Clark, the Revolutionary War leader and colleague of John Montgomery, Clarksville was the second town established in Middle Tennessee, Nashville being the ﬁrst. A board of commissioners was appointed for the new town.

At this time the area of the Cumberland around what is now Clarksville was called Davidson County, North Carolina. But, by 1778, as more settlers pushed westward the northwestern portion of this county was cut off forming Tennessee County, North Carolina. In 1796, Tennessee was founded as a state and the area around Clarksville and to the east was named Tennessee County. Eventually, Tennessee County would be broken up into what we know in the modern day as Montgomery and Robertson Counties.

14 Real Estate

In 2013, Clarksville was ranked as the 5th fastest growing city in the country and the 2nd fastest growing MSA, according to the US Census Bureau. As a result, real estate and new housing construction are an integral part of the Clarksville-Montgomery County economy. It can be seen throughout the city and county in the consistent growth and development of new communities. From custom built townhomes overlooking the Cumberland River to restored farmhouses on peaceful estates, this market has something to make everyone’s dreams come true.

A low cost of living, an increasingly diversiﬁed economy and a vibrant community are just a few of the most attractive features of Clarksville. The average price of the homes that were sold in 2013 was $163,000 and the average size was 1,885 square feet. The two bedroom unit or home rented for $660 in 2013. This makes Clarksville-Montgomery County one of the most affordable places to live in the country.

The Clarksville Association of Realtors has almost 700 active REALTOR members and 56 Afﬁliate Partners that work together to improve the public awareness of the value of REALTORS to the community and to the beneﬁts of their services.

38 Recreation

The Clarksville Parks and Recreation Department offers a wide variety of recreational facilities and activities for all ages. Within the City of Clarksville, the department maintains more than 700 acres of parks and facilities.

The city provides 31 park facilities that offer a variety of amenities, including playgrounds, picnic areas, walking trails and pavilions or picnic shelters. Several of the parks throughout Clarksville also feature restrooms, open play areas, basketball pads, tennis courts and ball ﬁelds. Additionally, the CPRD maintains three community centers with year-round programming for youth, adults and seniors, as well as ﬁve public swimming pools; one of which is converted into an Indoor Aquatic Center during the winter months. Recreational Trails System

The RiverWalk is the launch pad for the city’s recreational trails and Greenway system. The RiverWalk, Uplands Trail, and Clarksville Greenway are part of the Rails to Trails initiative, which transforms scenic abandoned railroad rights of way and river corridors into walking and biking trails. These trails also link various parks together throughout the city.

The North RiverWalk Extension, which consists of a 12-foot sidewalk, park benches, picnic tables, lighting, landscaping and irrigation, was recently completed from Pilot’s Plaza (behind O’Charley’s) to the conﬂuence of the Cumberland and Red rivers, as well as a pad for future mixed use development. The RiverWalk is also the venue for several of Clarksville’s special events, including the Independence Day Celebration, Riverfest and Christmas on the Cumberland.

The Uplands Trail is a walking path in the heart of downtown that was implemented by the community in the late 1990’s. The trail currently links the RiverWalk to an overlook bridge at the north end of Valleybrook Park. This portion of the project extended the trail from the pedestrian overpass on Riverside Drive and College Street, alongside many of Clarksville’s historical buildings and homes, and utilizes an unused railroad bridge near the park.

42 Green Business

The Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce supports our local County-wide Green Certification initiative. In May of 2013, the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce became the first Chamber in the State of Tennessee to be Green Certified.

In order to become green certified, the team at the Chamber made some changes to the normal day-to-day routine. Each employee has a recycling bin in their office for paper and plastic items, there are cardboard, plastic, newspaper, copy paper and aluminum recycling bins placed throughout the office and most of the newsletters, invitations and alerts are sent via e-mail. These changes will not only make an environmental difference but has also saved the organization money in printing and postage.

If your business has an interest in learning more about the Clarksville-Montgomery County Green Certiﬁcation Program email Michelle Newell at [email protected] or call 931-245-1867.
