Retail Development

Hickman County has the capacity to support more retail development. With the new sewer and other infrastucture in the area of the county nearest Nashville, Franklin, and Columbia, there is increased opportunity for retail and commercial development. If you are looking for a great opportunity, contact us for demographic, economic, and traffic count information to aid location decisions.

County Fair Honors Agricultural Heritage

The Hickman County Fair is August 14-18. The fair has always been a respite from the hard work of the summer, a time for showing the results of the year's labor, and a time for entertainment and fellowship. Check out the schedule at http://www.hickmancoagpavilion.com/fair.html .

From Moonshine to Fine Wine

Yes, Hickman County gained the reputation for moonshining and is still sometimes called "Keg County" by some old-timers, but we are much more refined these days. Take a scenic ride in the country and visit the new Grinder's Switch Winery. For more information on it and its wine, visit http://www.gswinery.com/.

Hickman County Economic & Community Development Association

Welcome! This is my first post to this blog. I represent a non-profit, public/private partnership dedicated to advancing the economic and community development of Hickman County, Tennessee.
The center of Hickman County, Centerville (appropriately named) is about 50 miles southwest of Nashville. It offers a quality workforce with a rural work ethic and has available industrial buildings and vacant building sites with quick, easy access to Interstate 40 and I-840. Hickman County has unique places to visit, comfortable places to live, and profitable places to work. http://www.hickmanco.com/vision21
