Even if you experience hardships or disappointments, remember the motto Conwell left us: Perseverantia Vincit, Perseverance Conquers. We have faith that you will succeed.

  • 6.0 Natural & Cultural Resources
    6.0 Natural & Cultural Resources Sumner County has a rich natural and cultural heritage that has changed dramatically since the 1960s with increasing suburbanization of the greater Nashville area. Residents expressed concern regarding the loss of Sumner County’s rural atmosphere, sense of place, and agricultural roots during the visioning phase of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan development. These concerns were also expressed among representatives on the Comprehensive Plan Working Group. In response to these concerns, a Natural & Cultural Resources Element was developed to assess the status of natural resources, primarily forest and water, in Sumner County, to begin identification of significant cultural resources, and to outline potential strategies for future implementation that protects, conserves, and mitigates impacts upon these resources. Ultimately, these strategies will strengthen the quality of life goals established in the Vision & Goals Element (3.0). In this element, a discussion of sustainability is presented to develop a framework for including natural and cultural resources in the comprehensive plan. Also relevant to this element is inclusion of facts and photos from major flooding that took place while developing the comprehensive plan. A brief overview of assistance that was obtained while developing the element is outlined followed by the role of topography in Sumner County. A detailed analysis of forest and water resources including maps of key resources, potential risks, and possible opportunities is included and a brief section describing the role of cultural heritage in Sumner County follows. Finally, all of this information is pulled together to identify key areas for action strategies with three focus areas presented that include model strategies that could be implemented throughout the county as needed.
