Mayor Matt Fitterer

08/31/2026

It’s the 5th Monday of the month, which means no regularly scheduled Planning Commission or BOMA meeting. An empty day on the calendar makes for a good opportunity to share updates across a wide range of projects and activities.

- Reserve Blvd and Kedron Rd signalization; Installation work should begin in the coming weeks.

- Cleburn Rd and Beechcroft Rd signalization and turn lanes; TDOT has approved plans. City completing last required steps to be able to go to bid, select contractor and begin work.

- Mahlon Moore Rd and Battle Creek Way improvements; work is substantially complete.

- Buckner Lane widening; construction on last segment scheduled to be complete this calendar year.

- Jim Warren bridge replacement; funded by private development, construction activity expected to begin in early 2027.

- Community Services Annex; City continues site preparation work with in house team. This project must be completed to relocate the public works department to allow for the water reclamation plant expansion.

- Harvey Park new playground equipment; being installed now. Should be completed soon.

- Sewer force main to Columbia; Spring Hill is negotiating an interlocal agreement with the City of Columbia. Once the agreement is complete, expect a 21-24 month build timeline.

- Pure Water Spring Hill reservoir; geotechnical work underway.

- Pure Water Spring Hill design build package; BOMA is expected to consider a design build agreement in September. This would be the major package that needs to be complete prior to the moratorium ending.

- Southside water tank; construction complete. Will come on line this fall.

- Sam’s Club; expected to begin vertical construction soon.

- Medacta; road improvements already underway. Site work expected to begin in September with vertical construction beginning Q1 2027.

- June Lake commercial; site work underway for previously approved salon, credit union and multitenant buildings. Additional commercial projects will be able to move forward as additional sewer capacity becomes available.

- Kedron Square; no sewer allocation under the moratorium means its unlikely anything occurs prior to additional capacity becoming available.

- Other Legacy Pointe commercial; nothing to announce now. Additional commercial projects will be able to move forward as additional sewer capacity becomes available.

- Comprehensive Plan update; City awarded an agreement in August. Kick off meetings being scheduled.

- Parks Master Plan update; BOMA scheduled to vote on a potential agreement in September. Project has come in over budget.

- Maury County EMS coverage; Williamson and Maury county continue to work together to find a solution for a single provider to service all of Spring Hill beginning Jan 1, 2027.

Most of these items and others were also covered during the state of the City address back at the beginning of August. If you missed that presentation, you can see it here: https://play.champds.com/springhilltn/event/1234

Another dull round of Planning Commission items beginning with tonight’s non-voting work session. Some minor plating and site plan items make up the entirety of the agenda.

Legacy Pointe is seeking final plat approval to create 23 lots from an earlier preliminary plat approval. A reduced number of lots is being asked for on final plat to stay within their sewer allocation.

Spring Hill Commerce Center has submitted a preliminary plat for the realigned Jim Warren Rd. The project would shift Jim Warren Rd to the west as previously depicted in the Spring Hill Commerce Center master plan.

Quick Mart on Main Street is asking for a small extension of an existing easement to connect their property to the neighboring Starbucks / Aspen Dental parking lot. When the Starbucks / Aspen Dental building was approved in 2018, the Planning Commission required the lot to have an access easement up to the neighboring property line to hopefully accommodate interconnectivity between the businesses. Quick Mart has now decided to complete the connection.

Two new water lines to be discussed during the work session portion of tonight’s BOMA meeting. Both lines will create loops in existing portions of the distribution system. Loops (rather than dead ends) improve water circulation, water quality, provide additional operational flexibility and improve system reliability. Both projects are relatively short in length (1,200 ft total) and are proposed to be completed by in house staff.

The first project would connect the western end of the Westview subdivision to Beechcroft Rd. The other project would connect Patriot Dr to Charles Lane in the Williamsburg subdivision.

On the water reclamation front, BOMA will be discussing and potentially stopping construction bids on the centrifuge project. During the course of designing the project, the water reclamation team continued to focus on operational improvements which included some newly rented equipment for the dewatering process. This portion of the reclamation process has improved significantly in recent months and is no longer creating plant instability.

Construction of the centrifuge is an estimated $25-28M. Given the operational improvements around the dewatering portion of the reclamation process and given that BOMA should be shortly awarding a progressive design build agreement for the entirely of plant expansion, it makes sense to pause on centrifuge construction and maintain the ability to view the plant wholistically and ensure we utilize a dewatering process that is most optimal in conjunction with the rest of the plant. Delaying construction on the centrifuge will not delay resolving the sewer connection moratorium.

Nothing of interest on tonight's Planning Commission voting session. US Bank made all the required adjustments to their site plan and it will be approved on consent agenda.

Far more interesting this week, TDOT is holding a public meeting in Spring Hill Thursday as part of its PEL study of the I-65 corridor from Nashville to Columbia.

PEL (Planning and Environmental Linkage) studies allow for information developed during the PEL stage to be carried forward into the federally required NEPA process, reducing future duplication of work. TDOT is looking to speed project delivery by using the PEL step more so than determine what type of improvement will be made.

NEPA is by far the most burdensome portion of any major infrastructure project and often responsible for delays, significant cost increases and sometimes projects being canceled all together. Federal NEPA reform would significantly improve local infrastructure delivery, you can learn more here: https://rebrand.ly/7z0lp9v

This week's meeting is an open-house meeting, so you can stop by anytime during the event to review information, ask questions, and share your feedback.

Thursday, August 13 from 5:00–7:00 p.m.
Spring Hill Event Centers – Banquet Hall located at 1018 Parkway Drive, Spring Hill

If you can't attend, meeting materials will be available online beginning August 13, and public comments will be accepted through September 8 at buildwithustn.com.

BOMA set to approve the annual pavement resurfacing schedule and list this evening. City staff reviews all streets annually and makes recommendations to BOMA based upon road conditions. Thanks to increases in the State Street Aid fund, we’re able to spend just over $2.9M on repaving this fiscal year.

Deerfield, Golf View Estates, Augusta Trace Dr, Jacob Dr, Stewart Campbell Pt, Loudenslager Dr, Derryberry Ln, Hunters Point, N Old Port Royal Rd, Kedron Rd, Prescott Way and Buckner Place are being recommended for resurfacing this year. Work will begin in the fall.

There are certainly streets in need (like Jim Warren Rd) that are left off the list. Often this is due to pending projects and improvements being scheduled to occur.

Speaking of Jim Warren Rd; If you missed Friday’s announcement of Medacta locating their North American headquarters in Spring Hill, be sure to head over to https://rebrand.ly/jkj9ark and get up to speed.

And lastly, this Wednesday evening will be the State of the City address at City Hall. We’ll be sharing updates on all major Spring Hill projects and initiatives. If you’re joining in person, doors open at 5 pm for light refreshments and reception with the presentation beginning at 6 pm. You can also watch a live stream of the presentation here: https://play.champds.com/springhilltn/event/1234

If you've been wondering what the old Hardee's building on Hwy 31 might grow up and become one day...here's your answer. US Bank has submitted a site plan to turn the building into a new branch.

No major changes being proposed to the site other than removing the row of parking adjacent to Hwy 31. That is to facilitate the future widening of the road. All other changes are primarily cosmetic in nature.

No other items of note this Planning Commission cycle. Some bonds are scheduled to be released and some routine final platting for Legacy Pointe and June Lake.
