City of Franklin - The Banks at Brownland Neighborhood Meeting 10-8-2026

The Banks at Brownland neighborhood meeting in Franklin, Tennessee, on October 8, 2026, was a developer presentation and public Q&A about a proposed mixed-use development at Brownland Farm. The concept includes athletic facilities, retail and medical uses, greenways, river access, and a Graceworks campus. The presenters described a proposed community ice facility that would be community-owned, with the Predators operating it under a long-term lease of up to 30 years and covering operating costs and routine maintenance; the Sports Authority would be responsible for major capital costs, with lease payments intended to help offset them. The developer also said it would provide land and a pad-ready site for a county emergency-services facility and six acres plus site work for Graceworks. These were presented as proposed project arrangements; no contract award, procurement decision, or vote occurred at the meeting.

The discussion also covered developer-funded flood and traffic studies, potential roadway and drainage improvements, parking, lighting, and neighborhood concerns about traffic, flooding, noise, and project scale. Kimley-Horn prepared the studies, with CEC providing third-party flood-study review; the city and its reviewers had not yet finalized required traffic improvements. The project remained in the planning and review process, with additional neighborhood meetings planned. No government purchasing action or appropriation was identified.
