Germantown, Tennessee
Located at the southeast corner of Forest Hill Irene and Winchester Road the Forest Hill Heights strategic area is a 303+/- acre portion of the 1,450 acres of land annexed from Shelby County into Germantown in 2000. The majority of the study area is located at the southeast corner of Forest Hill Irene and Winchester Road and contains the Forest Hill Heights planned development, which was approved by the Shelby County Commission in 1996.
In August 2012 the Board of Mayor and Aldermen adopted a long-range strategic plan for the economic development future of Germantown. The plan was based on five guiding principles with specific actions to measure success. One focus in particular called for the development of small area planning studies in the city’s existing commercial and business areas. As one of the few remaining commercial areas with large undeveloped tracts, existing corporate headquarters and valuable access to important traffic corridors, Forest Hill Heights was identified as an economic node in need of a small area plan consistent with the recommendations from the strategic plan.
For more information about upcoming planning activities, contact Economic Development Manager Marie Lisco at mlisco@Germantown-TN.gov or call 901-757-7281.
