And more retail may soon be on the way. The owners of the River Hill Garden Center have filed a rezoning application to allow it to redevelop the property as a shopping center. The garden center is currently operating as a non-conforming use on land zoned R-20 which allows for two residential units per acre. They are seeking a change to B-1. The owners are arguing that everything else along this stretch of the road is already zoned B-1 or B-2.
Down the road and across the street, six development teams are vying for the right to redevelop the county owned former Gateway School which sits on approximately 8 acres along Clarksville Pike. A citizen’s advisory committee has reviewed development proposals that call for a mix of office, residential and retail space. The six teams are Holland Properties, Clarksville Development Group (Kirk Halpin, Focal Development, Kinsley Construction and Corridor Reznick), Security Development, Kimco, George Stone and a joint venture of JPB Enterprises and Roadside Development. The advisory committee is made up of Susan Smith, Mitch Caplan, Jacqueline Easley, Anne Stuart, Barry Curtis, Susan Goldberg, Roger Jones, Mohammad Saleem, Michael McGarvey, Steven Sass and John Connolly.
The committee will be making a recommendation this fall on which team to move forward with.

Citizen's Advisory Committee?
Developing 8 acres in Clarksville?
What?
What about Town Center?
Is this 8 acres too? more? less?
Citizen's Advisory Committee?
Residences, offices and retail?
Can we learn something?
What would it take to change the asphalt jungle of parking lots between the library and Vantage Place? Residential, office and retail and a vibrant, walkable downtown filled with families and singles enjoying the arts, restaurants, bands and impromptu mimes?
Lions and tigers and bears...oh my?

Oh, come on, HH. Vibrancy is not living in or looking over a office/retail parking lot.
But let's not forget those vibrant mimes. No un-vibrant mimes need apply.
My idea of vibrancy is a sub-division in marriottsville with acre lots and plenty of space. The 20 minute commute into Columbia is an easy price to pay for the vibrancy I seek.

That 20 minute commute takes place now, in our 'un vibrant' state. As soon as we pump up traffic with BRAC and Vibrancy, it'll be much different.
Please…..Columbia is the best place in the county to have increased/high density development.
Hi,
WB-- Clarksville started being called "West Columbia" years ago by one of the car dealers there (can't recall which one)
