Smyrna's Town Council was scheduled to hold public hearings and vote on annexing approximately 70 acres along W. Jefferson Pike, the most significant land-use item in a busy two-week stretch of local meetings. All recent meetings listed below were agenda-only at the time of this report — minutes have not yet been published, so final outcomes are not yet confirmed.

Town Council

The July 14 agenda included a public hearing on annexing 70.08 acres at 4657 and 4665 W. Jefferson Pike for C-2 and I-1 zoning, requested by Hollingshead Land, LLC. The council was also set to consider rezoning 2 acres at 10510 Old Nashville Highway from R-1 to C-2, owned by Woods Properties, and rezoning approximately 3.99 acres on Old Nashville Highway near Enon Springs Road West from C-4 and R-2 to C-2 across seven parcels.

Additional public hearings were scheduled on ordinance amendments regarding firearms in town parks, detached accessory structures, and mobile food vendors. The consent agenda listed contracts including a record management system with FirstDue, monument signs along Lowry Street (SR-1), and time extensions for the Florence Road Sidewalks project through April 30, 2028.

Smyrna boards met July 7–9; outcomes pending as Town Council weighs 70-acre annexation July 14

Three Smyrna boards met between July 7 and July 9, but minutes have not yet been published for any of them, so no decisions, votes, or dollar figures from those sessions are available in the record. The most consequential land-use action on the horizon is scheduled for the July 14 Town Council meeting, where council members will hold public hearings on annexing roughly 70 acres along W. Jefferson Pike and on several rezoning requests along Old Nashville Highway.
