Collierville,
Tennessee
Collierville
is a mainly upscale town of large houses and considerable retail
expansion, but unlike its neighbors, still retains much of its "old
town" feel from its days as a self-contained community, rather
than a suburb. Smaller, older houses are still found in the heart
of Collierville, mainly between Byhalia Road and Collierville-Arlington
on the East and West and Shelton and Highway 72 on the North and
South. Some industry, notably Pepsi and Carrier, still dot the areas
located south of Poplar Avenue.
Collierville is also
home to the new Avenue at Carriage Crossing, an 800,000+ sq. ft.
shopping center which opened in October 2005. Baptist Hospital,
Collierville, also serves the medical needs of Collierville's residents.
Collierville is also
the location for the FedEx World Technology Headquarters, located
on the western edge of Collierville on the intersection of Bailey
Station and Winchester.
Collierville will soon
become part of the I-69 Highway plan integrating Bill Morris Parkway
as part of this USDOT project linking Canada and Mexico within United
States.
Collierville was recently
chosen as one of Relocate-America's Top 100 Places to Live in 2008.
