Collierville is the second-fastest growing city in Tennessee.
We pride ourselves on effectively managing that growth while
continuing to maintain a small-town charm. We are honored to
be the worldwide home to the FedEx World Tech Center and to many
other fine businesses.
For our residents, we maintain 30 athletic fields (soon 36)
and our community theater hosted more than 100,000 people last
year. We pride ourselves on our parks, including the historic
Town Square, a focal point for our community. Many wonderful
events, including our weekly concerts in the park, fairs and
Christmas festivals, are exactly what you would expect in this
unique setting.
The
future looks bright for our town. When annexation is complete,
Collierville will nearly double in size, as will our population.
We have prepared for that growth by building a beautiful new
library, new water plants, our fifth fire station, a new communications
dispatch center, a new Public Services Complex, and a new Town
Hall. We have improved and built new roads. We will be expanding
our Community Center along with adding many parks improvements,
such as our new Water Spray Park.
Through it all, we are committed to making Collierville not
just a place to live, but home to our residents.
I hope you enjoy your visit.
Sincerely,
Linda Kerley
