Nolensville News – Friday, April 19th, 2024

Town Manager
The Town of Nolensville was recently given a grant from the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation which is aimed at using State American Rescue Plan funds to implement water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure maintenance and improvement projects. We have selected a consulting engineering firm, Neel-Schaffer, Inc., to perform a Town-wide inventory and condition assessment of Nolensville’s stormwater assets, develop a Town-wide stormwater study, and develop plans for stormwater capital improvement projects resulting from the study’s recommendations. Teams of personnel will be seen around Nolensville collecting information on the Town’s stormwater system. They will be wearing bright-colored vests and carrying iPads and survey equipment to collect information on the storm infrastructure between March 20 and mid-June. If you have any questions, please contact Don Swartz, Town Engineer (dswartz@nolensvilletn.gov) or Chuck Downham, Assistant Town Manager (cdownham@nolensvilletn.gov).

The Town of Nolensville is pleased to announce its partnership with Greater Nashville Regional Council (GNRC) to assist in ensuring the accuracy of special census data. Field workers and town employees have conducted and completed door-to-door visits throughout Nolensville in record time. The next step will be for GNRC to finish their portion of the verification process in office before our census is sent to the state. Thank you to our community for making this step in the process a seamless one!  

The Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is conducting a Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study to establish the vision for the Downtown Nashville Interstate Corridors network and how future Choice Lanes projects in the Downtown Nashville area could potentially connect or expand on the larger system.

The PEL Study considers the benefits and impacts of proposed transportation system improvements to the environment, community and economy during the early transportation planning process.

This Downtown Nashville Interstate Corridors PEL Study includes 45 miles of interstate segments:

•     I-65, I-24 and I-40 – the “Inner Loop” in Downtown Nashville
•     I-65 from SR 155 (Thompson Lane) to the Inner Loop
•     I-440 from I-65 to I-24/I-40
•     I-24 from Inner Loop to I-65 interchange (north of Downtown Nashville)
•     I-40, from Inner Loop to Elm Hill Pike
•     I-24 from I-40 to I-840 (south of Downtown Nashville)

From April 1-30, 2024, information will be available at https://bit.ly/Nash-PEL-Study for you to review and share your feedback. TDOT wants this PEL Study to be collaborative and meaningful, as your input is critical to the future of this corridor. Although the public comment period will officially end on April 30, 2024, all the information about the ongoing Planning and Environmental Linkages Study will remain accessible for the duration of the study. We encourage you to learn about these exciting plans and offer your feedback as a member of our community!

Visit the website (and submit your feedback) at: https://bit.ly/Nash-PEL-Study. You can also submit your feedback by calling the PEL Study hotline at (615) 451-8039 or by sending it via email to TDOT.BuildWithUs@tn.gov. 

Police Department
This week, the Nolensville Police Department assisted with a presentation at the Nolensville High School. Last week, we held a class on the dangers of alcohol, drugs, and dangerous driving to the senior students. This week, we held the same class for the junior students. 

Today the Nolensville Police Department is giving a police station tour to a group of students interested in law enforcement. The students will walk through the station, learning about the different departments and staff we have on our team. Students will also see one of our patrol cars, learn about what a normal workday looks like and see some of the equipment officers use. 

We want to thank everyone who made the Buttercup Festival a success this year. Many officers attended the festival, providing safety, security, and assistance to those in attendance. We had a great time, and we look forward to the festival next year.
