Clarksville TN Offers Quality of Life and Here's Why - HULIQ

When a city grows at a fast pace you want to know why and Clarksville TN is the fifth-fastest growing city in the nation of cities with a population of over 50,000. It's close proximity to Nashville is part of the reason and the affordability of housing as compared to counties closer to the state capitol is also part of the reason.

Clarksville TN covers 95.5 square miles of which .7 square miles is water. The Cumberland River and Red River and smaller tributaries run through Montgomery County. Rivers make great recreational opportunities for residents of the area. This and many city and county parks help offer quality of life.

The population is estimated for 2014 according the U.S. Census Bureau at 189,000. This is a big increase since the last formal census was taken that gave 150,000 as the figure. By the year 2020 it is estimated it should exceed 200,000.

Another reason for the huge growth is Fort Campbell KY . Not only is the military post the largest employer in the area but even after people leave the area they come back here to retire. Being close to a VA Hospital in Nashville and having buying privileges at the Post Commissary and PX are advantages that appeal to retiring veterans. Other family members choose to move here to be close to their active duty family members because they have heard it is a great place to live.

Here's another really big reason, the State of Tennessee has no state income tax. That can save thousands of dollars if the relocating buyer comes from a state and city that imposes these taxes.

There are many neighborhoods to choose from and a lot of new homes being built. These homes are packed with amenities that buyers of today are really liking. Property taxes are reasonable and do not inflate housing prices beyond affordability.

The best reason is that people in Clarksville are friendly. They say hello and carry on a conversation with you and to us locals this isn't unusual at all. Even driving down the road people on the side of the roads will give you friendly wave and a smile. What a nice way to live.

March 31, 2015 |

Nashville, TN – With all the anticipation surrounding First Tennessee Park, set to open next month, there’s yet another reason to get excited – Nashville-based Strategic Hospitality will be opening a bar and restaurant in the right field concourse area.

“I am excited to partner with Strategic Hospitality to develop a fun, dynamic space within the ballpark to give fans an additional place for entertainment during games,” said Ward. “We feel this will be an especially exciting area for the 21 to 35 year old crowd.”

The Band Box will be a 4,000 square-foot outdoor bar and restaurant with entertainment options including ping pong, cornhole, table hockey and shuffleboard – along with the primary backdrop of the Sounds playing on the new field. Televisions will surround the bar area for additional entertainment.

The bar will feature craft beers on tap and an emphasis on local beers, a quality liquor selection, and refreshing frozen drinks such as a grapefruit and vodka slushie or a frozen Jack and Coke.

The Band Box will offer fare for all appetites, including snacks such as vegetables and hummus or jalapeno fritters with derby sauce; or more substantial items such as a kielbasa pork sausage from Porter Road Butcher served with carrot cumin slaw, or the smoked pork nachos, served with jalapeno “queso” sweet corn and tomato pico de gallo, bbq, and cilantro crema. The menu will also offer some vegetarian and healthier options, such as a quinoa chopped salad with vegetables and citrus vinaigrette.

“There is so much positive growth and energy in this city right now and we are honored to be a part of it,” said Max Goldberg, co-owner of Strategic Hospitality. “The Band Box will be a fun, laid-back area within First Tennessee Park where guests can get a really great drink and some food and just hang out and enjoy. We grew up with the Sounds and couldn’t be happier to be a part of the team.”

The Band Box will be open for all home games. Doors will open when the stadium gates open 90 minutes prior to games and stay open until after the game concludes. There will also be an area of ticketed seats with service that will allow fans to order food and drinks from The Band Box. Strategic Hospitality is currently staffing up The Band Box, so if you’re interested in applying, please email hiring@strategichospitalityonline.com.
