What’s Coming to La Vergne? Mayor Jason Cole Talks Growth, Roads, Restaurants & More

There is a LOT happening in La Vergne, Tennessee.

We sat down with La Vergne Mayor Jason Cole for a wide-ranging conversation about the growth happening across the city and what residents can expect over the next several years.

Mayor Cole gives us updates on major road projects, the widening of Waldron Road, I-24 Choice Lanes, new residential development, retail and restaurants, parks, public safety, schools, and the future of La Vergne.

We also dive into Twinning Station, a massive mixed-use development expected to bring residential development, shopping, dining, entertainment and more to the area. Mayor Cole also discusses Uptown La Vergne, new businesses coming to Murfreesboro Road, the city's push for more sit-down restaurants, and why retailers are increasingly paying attention to La Vergne.

With thousands of new homes being built throughout the surrounding area, we also talk about one of the biggest challenges facing the community: keeping roads, schools, police, fire services and other infrastructure ahead of the growth.

Plus, Mayor Cole shares details about upcoming community events including the Howl at the Moon 5K, Fall Festival, National Night Out and La Vergne's winter festivities.
