The City of Germantown, the Germantown Economic Development Commission and Forest Hill Associates partnered to develop a vision and site plan for the Forest Hill Heights area, located at the southeast corner of Forest Hill Irene and Winchester Road.  Using significant public participation and thoughtful and sustainable planning, a small area plan for the Forest Hill Heights area was adopted by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in April 2016. 

The plan considers land use, real estate market and economics, and future infrastructure needs resulting in design concepts based on market reality. Click here to view the Forest Hill Heights Small Area Plan.

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 June 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 on November 1, 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 the city's level of 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.

Currently, the City is developing design guidelines for the Forest Hill Heights District. For inquiries or additional information about Forest Hill Heights, contact Economic Development Manager Marie Lisco at mlisco@Germantown-TN.gov or call 901-757-7281.
