The City, through it's 501c3, non-profit, volunteer civic improvement organization, Two Rivers Company (TRC) has proposed an urban apartment block for the downtown area.



TRC is looking for a developer to get the project built. The project would be built adjacent to the Civic Park described in the above post. Presumably, the land would be made available to the developer.

The proposed site is a 60,000-square-foot rectangle, or close to 1.4 acres, and the development is envisioned as a five-story, L-shaped structure with multi-story parking within the core. It could have 13,500 square feet of commercial space to include a neighborhood grocery store, restaurant and bank, 128 residential units and up to 314 parking spaces.
"We're the youngest county in Tennessee," Bibb said. "We're a city full of millennials, and this type of project would serve that population well, as well as empty-nesters, so it would serve a current need.
"Beyond that, we see this as the first of many multi-use projects that are possible for the area if this one is successful," he said.

Also, from the Leaf-Chronicle, some great info on downtown development, the new arena (which would serve as a home for Austin Peay Basketball) and a good outlook on the City's forward looking approach to making this City of 150,000 people into the city it should be.
