The Town of Nolensville would like to welcome our new Assistant Town Manager, Chuck Downham. He has over 37 years of municipal management, planning, and project management experience in both the public and private sector. Prior to joining our team, Chuck served as a Municipal Management Consultant for three years with the University of Tennessee’s Institute for Public Service – Municipal Technical Advisory Service (IPS - MTAS) providing technical assistance to municipalities in southern middle Tennessee. He also recently served as the Assistant City Administrator for the City of Spring Hill, Tennessee where he provided management oversight in the areas of development services, capital improvement planning, project management, and municipal operations. Chuck has served several other cities in Tennessee over his career in a variety of roles including Tullahoma (Planning Director, Municipal Services Director, and City Administrator), Collierville (Town Planner and Interim Development Director), and Lakeland (Growth Management Director). Chuck received a Bachelor of Art degree with honors and a Master of Science in Planning degree from the University of Tennessee.  He is a long-standing member of the American Planning Association (APA) and the TN Chapter – American Planning Association (TAPA) where he has served as Chapter Treasurer and was recently inducted into the Tennessee Planning Leadership Council. He is an active member of the Tennessee City Managers Association (TCMA) serving on the Legislative Committee. We are so excited to have Chuck as a member of our team and we know that he will bring knowledge, experience, and professionalism to our Town.

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 seeking public input on the Town’s first10-year parks and recreation master plan. This plan will outline priorities for Nolensville’s parks and recreation system for the next 10 years and is a requirement for the Town to receive grant funding from the state. Join us Monday April 8th from 5-7pm at Nolensville Town Hall to see the plans and give us your feedback. This will be open-house style event set-up with vision boards containing highlights from each section of the Master Plan. The input received from the community will help guide the recommendations in the Master Plan and help shape the future of Nolensville’s parks.

Police Department
This week, the Nolensville Police Department worked on several long-term investigations and new criminal cases as they were reported.  

On Friday, Nolensville officers attended the retirement of CID Captain David Beard from the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office. We’d like to congratulate and thank Captain Beard on his achievements and a 36-year career in law enforcement.  

The Nolensville Police Department is in the process of applying for a grant from the Tennessee Highway Safety Office (THSO). This year, we are applying to purchase communication equipment for our patrol vehicles. This equipment will allow patrol officer to communicate with our dispatch center more efficiently, allowing the cellular upload and download information from the different equipment to occur within the vehicle. This grant funding will also allow officers to conduct extra patrols in areas that see higher rates of speeding, traffic violations, and crashes.  

The Nolensville Police Department is transitioning to new, less lethal/de-escalation equipment for the officers on patrol. This equipment is designed to de-escalate situations and/or reduce the potential for injury to officers or others. In the next few weeks, officers will receive training on de-escalation and the proper methods of deploying this new equipment.
