04/10/26 District 33 Community Meeting

The Metro Nashville Network held a District 33 Community Meeting on April 10, 2026, focused primarily on the proposed residential development project by Epcon Communities at 1010 Battle Road. The project targets the 55-plus demographic and includes 112 single-family homes with amenities such as clubhouses, swimming pools, and community gardens. Significant discussion centered on changes made to the project in response to community and city feedback, including replacing townhomes with alley-loaded single-family homes to maintain the rural character and reduce density. Traffic concerns were addressed, with commitments to improve safety on nearby curves through shoulder widening in coordination with INDOT, and plans for a center turn lane along Battle Road to facilitate safer access. The developers also discussed environmental stewardship, including a 23-acre conservation parcel to be preserved through potential partnerships with land trusts. Questions about infrastructure covered water and sewer services, with water supplied by College Grove Utility District and sewer service by Metro Water. The meeting included community input on pedestrian safety, potential crosswalks, and HOA policies regarding rental limits to maintain community character. The developers committed to sharing presentation materials and continuing engagement with the community and city officials as the project advances through zoning and planning stages.
