Tri-County Transportation & Land Use Study

Coordinated Planning for Regional Mobility & Prosperity

The Tri-County Transportation & Land Use Study is a first of its kind effort in our region to bring local governments, citizens, and businesses together across jurisdictional boundaries to talk about significant growth issues. The effort, kicked-off in late 2007, will create a forum for local leaders in the counties of Robertson, Sumner, and Wilson to consider the growth plans of their neighboring communities in an effort to improve their own - all for the sake of regional mobility and prosperity. The MPO will use the effort to generate ideas for the regional transportation plan. Local governments will use the effort to develop or improve upon their own comprehensive plans.

December Public Workshop Recap

The MPO and local community planners conducted public workshops in early December to give citizens a look at future growth and development across Robertson, Sumner and Wilson Counties, and to weigh in on preferences for how that growth should occur in order to support quality-of-life.

The Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) - a multi-county, regional planning agency - is working closely with local planners and community leaders to develop a plan to address growth for the next 25 years.
