Bellevue’s District 35: 16 Projects

Metro Schools will construct a new, state-of-the-art high school in the heart of Bellevue as a replacement for Hillwood High School. Funding for the land purchase has been approved and the transaction is pending.

This new facility, slated to open in late 2018, will feature two sheets of ice (for open skating, competition, and lessons), two gyms, walking and running tracks, a fitness center, meeting rooms, programming rooms, and more.

This 250-acre plot will open to hikers and walkers as soon as a tunnel is pedestrian tunnel is built to allow visitors to cross the railroad tracks, likely this fall. Entry to and parking for the property have been built at the eastern Highway 100/Old Hickory intersection across from Edwin Warner Park.

Surveys and traffic studies have been completed. A traffic light, crossing arms, and additional curb in front of Eddie’s Market are planned. An agreement beween Metro and the state has been approved for installation and operation of the traffic light, and TDOT insists the project will move forward this fall.

Construction of Larry’s Country Diner has stalled and faces an uncertain future. Future plans for Shoney’s are unknown.

A three-story, 22,000-square-foot medical office building is currently being constructed.

The project will include mainly commercial in the Davidson County portion of the project, including an 85- to 100-room boutique hotel, restaurants, and office space. In addition, the project calls for 800 single family homes, 450 acres of open space, and seven miles of walking trails. Most of the project is located across the Williamson County line, though a neighborhood near Traceside and a mixed-use development on the other side of Sneed Road–as well as perhaps a small neighborhood on the other side of Natchez Trace Parkway–fall within Davidson County. The project will take about 20 years to complete.

The developer has updated the site plan due to new state regulations related to flood mitigation. The project includes single family homes, multifamily, retail, improvements to McCrory Lane and the I-40/McCrory interchange (Exit 192), and more. There is no timeline available.
