Land acquired for construction of new Clarksville schools

Land has been acquired near Exit 8 of I-24 in Montgomery County for construction of three new public schools and other facilities.

The Clarksville-Montgomery County Industrial Development Board recently voted to move forward with the purchase of 116 acres of farmland near Rossview Road. A news release says the tract of land purchased is located along I-24 near Exit 8 near Hayes Lane and Rossview Road; and is the site of a new Clarksville-Montgomery County School System Campus, with plans for an elementary, middle, high school, transportation facility and athletic fields.

The Industrial Development Board will serve as the buyer and financial conduit for the site; after the pad site for the middle school is completed IDB will transfer the deed for the land to the Clarksville-Montgomery County School System, who in collaboration with Montgomery County will oversee the design and construction of the campus. The first building on the campus, the middle school, is slated to be complete by the fall of 2022.
