Collierville, Tennessee
Just east of Germantown, Collierville is another suburb that
is growing in popularity. It has retained a small-town feel, evident in its historic town
square, the only real town square in the country. It's been a centerpiece for the town's
activities since the 1870s.
Collierville is also experiencing a boom in new home
development. The city's new homes are showcased annually in the Festival of Homes,
sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce.
The city's planners are working hard to strike a balance
between residential and commercial development. One of their goals has been to make
Collierville a good place to live and work. Light industry has settled in the city, but is
confined to an industrial area. And retail and commercial centers are convenient to
neighborhoods.
People are drawn to the city's well-maintained parks and
fields. It has its own theatre, the Harrell Performing Arts Theatre, that offers a busy
schedule of performances. The Collierville community is enriched with events like the
annual Fall Festival on the square and the Christmas tree lighting and parade.
Collierville residents are happy to live in a city that has
kept its small-town charm.
