Tour of the Town’s Development
One key to Collierville’s continued strategic growth is our economic diversity. With over 1200 acres of developable land and acreage in all market segments that support commercial, office, residential, and industrial development, our growth is sustainable. Economic diversity is one of the things that will fuel our community for years to come. How about a quick tour around the Town with updates on our exciting activity?
