sk Brentwood residents what they love about their hometown, and you’ll hear the same response again and again: It’s the ideal place to live, work and play.

Tom Bain moved to Brentwood in 1972 when he took a job with HCA in Nashville. He threw himself into the local community by coaching Little League Baseball and serving as mayor in the late 1970s and early ’80s.

“The quality of life here is super,” Bain says. “I’ve traveled extensively and visited a lot of cities, but I’ve found very few places like Brentwood. We have a climate with four seasons, and we’re at the crossroads of three interstates. Both the city and county park systems are incredible, with wonderful walking trails. And I’ve seen a unique spirit of generosity here – the community is always willing to give. Many residents give a great deal to charity and don’t want any recognition for it.”

Thanks to the community’s generosity, several nonprofit organizations thrive in Brentwood and Cool Springs, including Habitat for Humanity, United Way of Williamson County and Second Harvest Food Bank. One of the ways local citizens show support for nonprofits is through the Brentwood Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce’s annual Taste of Cool Springs event in April. The area’s best chefs unite to prepare a smorgasbord of food for ticket holders, and proceeds benefit

United Way and its 35 partner agencies.Brentwood’s excellent schools also appealed to Bain, whose

three sons were raised in the city. “Williamson County has one of the best school systems in

the state,” Bain says. “Brentwood is an incredible place to raise children.”

Devin McClendon, a broker for XMi Commercial Real Estate, couldn’t agree more. He was born and raised in Brentwood and is now raising his two young children here.

“I love Brentwood for the parks, conveniences, friendly folks and the dedication of citizens to keeping it great,” McClendon says. “Now that I’ve started a family of my own, I wanted my kids to enjoy the same type of childhood I had. The public schools here are amazing, and my son will soon attend the same elementary school I did.”

The economic centerpiece of Brentwood can be found in Maryland Farms, a bustling upscale suburban office park that’s home to a bevy of businesses, including several national headquarters. Part of McClendon’s job includes helping business owners find office space in the Brentwood and Cool Springs area, and Maryland Farms is a popular location.

“Maryland Farms plays a large role in the economic vitality of Brentwood,” McClendon says. “My clients have a real desire to locate their businesses here because they appreciate the conveniences of Maryland Farms and Cool Springs, and they want a great atmosphere for their employees. Brentwood has done a good job managing traffic f low, and that means a lot to business owners.”

When the workday is done, Brentwood and Cool Springs offer plenty of places for recreation. The Old Natchez Country Club, the Nashville Golf & Athletic Club and Vanderbilt Legends Club keep golfers at the top of their game, while the city of Brentwood’s nine parks provide opportunities for hiking, inline skating, skateboarding, biking, tennis, baseball and even exploring historic homes on public property.

“People don’t realize how historic the Brentwood area is,” Bain says. “A lot of things happened here during the Civil War because we’re halfway between Franklin and Nashville. After the Battle of Franklin, for example, the whole Confederate high command had breakfast at the Ruth Moore mansion in Brentwood.”

One of the unusual qualities of Brentwood is its ability to cherish its rich history while forging ahead into the future.

“Growing up here, I’ve seen a lot of changes in Brentwood,” McClendon says, “but the reason I’ve decided to stay is because this city knows how to grow while maintaining its unique identity.”

rentwood and Cool Springs may be home to many stay-at-home moms, but this area is also a hotspot for female entrepreneurs.

Cindi Parmenter is one of them. As owner of Parmenter & Co., she counsels individuals and company executives about the best ways to reach their goals.

“A personal strategic plan is very holistic – it can include goals for careers, health, family, retirement or finances,” says Parmenter, who has two adult daughters and three young grandchildren. “I might talk through ideas with a CEO who’s stuck and needs to step back and see the bigger picture. I also facilitate consensus workshops and customer-service and time-management training.”

Debbie Alan is another mover and shaker in the local business scene. A mother of three grown sons and former “Talk of the Town” host at Nashville’s NewsChannel 5, she is also the founder of “On The HomeStretch,” a live Internet radio talk show for women. The one-hour show helps women make the second half of life better than the first.

“I wanted to create a show that was really honest – not cotton candy,” Alan says. “It’s geared toward women ages 35 and older, and we talk about the warts and ugly stuff of life as well as the good things. We focus on topics like aging gracefully, caregiving, relationships and health. My husband is a psychologist, and he often comes on live and we talk about our own marital problems. People love it.”

Alan handpicks other guests for the show who are “entertaining, inspiring and fascinating,” with the goal of helping listeners dream again.

“As women, we lose ourselves in our jobs, raising children

and being wives,” Alan explains. “After women have poured out themselves to their kids, husbands, churches, jobs and communities, we give them permission to focus on themselves again. We help fire up their passion.”

Sheilah Griggs is another savvy woman who has taken the region by storm with successful business ventures. She is vice president of Point 3 Media – a boutique full-service advertising agency and production company – and she heads up the Nashville arm of a national company that helps women take their business dreams to the next level.

Called Ladies Who Launch, the program – including an intensive four-week incubator course – provides resources and connections for women entrepreneurs.

“I love watching women come together to connect and build each other up – whether that is to build a business or to build self-esteem,” Griggs says. “This is a positive, safe environment where ideas are nurtured and can grow.”

The program functions as a “resource concierge,” she says, with a Web site rich in practical content; a group of supportive local women; ongoing meetings, speakers and e-mails; and a philosophy that encourages generosity.

How do these women balance all the demands of womanhood with all the demands of running a business? None of them will tell you it’s easy, but there are a few tricks to the trade.

“It’s a delicate balancing act, and I’ve had to step off the treadmill a few times to be at home with my family,” Alan says. “But now I have an office at home, so I can put in a load of laundry or drive a carpool and then come back home and work. You can’t have it all at once, but if you’re patient, you can have it all.”

n expanding business base, coupled with its small-town sensibilities, makes Brentwood one perfect

location for community banks.In recent years Magna, Reliant, First

Farmers & Merchants, and Avenue banks have set up shop here, as well as BancorpSouth and Pinnacle Financial Partners. All have found a welcoming community that appreciates personal relationships with banks while also being able to leverage serious money for business and personal needs.

“We started in January 2006, at a time when two very reputable Williamson County-based commercial banks were sold to banks that were headquartered out of this market,” says DeVan Ard, president and chief executive officer of Reliant Bank. “We just felt like that left a vacuum. We knew that businesses and individuals here liked working with a bank that could make quick decisions, and banks that also were very active in the community.”

Since then, Reliant has opened a branch on Nolensville Road about a mile south of Old Hickory across from Lenox Village – a location that allows it to serve both Williamson and south Davidson counties.

“Brentwood abuts that area, and so it lets us carry over into Nolensville as well,” Ard says. “We’re opening a Franklin branch in mid-2009.”

The success of the community model

also led BancorpSouth to the area. Three branches – two in Brentwood and one in Franklin – represented the bank’s initial foray into Middle Tennessee and have proven to be solid moves, says Ken Farmer, BancorpSouth’s area president.

“This has been a thriving market due in part to job growth, particularly the influx of high-paying, corporate level positions,” he says. “Middle Tennessee is still perceived as very business friendly and has attracted growth – both large and small companies – and banks grow in communities that are growing.”

BancorpSouth has been able to capi-talize on its employees, as well as a broad package of products and services. A focus on the community is a part of the bank’s mandate, Farmer says.

The story’s the same over at Pinnacle Financial Partners, which chartered in October 2000 in downtown Nashville but had its first branch open by year’s end in Brentwood, says Brad Dunn, financial advisor and area executive.

“We have more than 30 branches now, and we are looking for more locations. We go into communities seeking to develop relationships with owner-managed companies,” Dunn says. “These people and businesses are looking to a bank for a relationship, not just a place to park their money. Now more than ever, people are looking for a bank where they can have that relationship, to get the advice and the services that will help their businesses grow.”

ith 13 of Middle Tennessee’s top 25 publicly traded companies calling Williamson County home, it’s obvious that the county and its municipalities are doing something right.

Unlike some areas where jurisdictional squabbling stymies progress, cooperation is key to this region’s economic-development accomplishments.

Matt Largen, director of the Williamson County Office of Economic Development, refers to his office as a case in point: The county operation is the agreed-upon single point of contact for efforts related to business retention and expansion, new business recruitment and entrepreneurship support.

The result is a cohesive initiative that promotes Williamson County’s upscale, business-friendly image.

“The county has definitely branded itself with an image, a certain corporate identity,” Largen says. “Williamson County has an identity distinct from all the other counties in Middle Tennessee.” That is an effective lure for corporate headquarters, technology-related ventures, health-care companies and other high-end enterprises.

The atmosphere also attracts high-quality people. “In this business, it starts and ends with the workforce.

That’s one of the big strategic advantages we have over a lot of other areas around the country,” Largen says. “We have a highly skilled, highly educated workforce that companies looking to relocate operations – particularly headquarter-type operations – can’t live without.”

The Cool Springs business district at the south end of Brentwood features gleaming corporate structures, first-class office space and one of the busiest retail centers in the state.

“Retail is going to follow rooftops,” Largen says. “When a community attracts people of a certain demographic level, retailers follow that. They’re looking to put stores where people have disposable income. Part of that’s an image thing as well.”

Mike Walker, city manager of Brentwood, notes that the area’s identity is enhanced by design standards that discourage a “hodge-podge” of development.

“Everybody in this county – not just Brentwood, but Franklin and the county – figured out a long time ago that zoning control and development standards didn’t hurt

property and property owners,” Walker says. “They actually helped values. Everybody bought in early that this made sense, everything down to sign control.”

A prime example of that collaborative plan at work is Maryland Farms, an attractive business campus in the heart of Brentwood. Walker says more than 20,000 people work in the city, which boasts more than 5 million square feet of office space. Just about 5 percent of Brentwood land is zoned com-mercial, and retailers don’t find the strict design requirements a hindrance. In fact, the 30-acre Brentwood Place shopping center sold for a whopping $63 million in late 2007.

“Location is the key. Just look where we are,” Walker says. “We’re convenient to where a lot of the economic growth is in the Middle Tennessee area. That’s a clear advantage.”

rentwood may be in the heart of Middle Tennessee, but finding cuisine outside your culinary comfort zone is easy.

Wild Ginger is one of many local restaurants that brings exotic f lavors close to home, no passport required.

Described by co-owner Andrew Siao as a fusion of East and West, Wild Ginger’s cuisine is hard to pin down to any specific country or region. And that’s just the way that Siao and his business partner, John Chen, like it.

“We came up with the idea of fusing the East and West, and merging Oriental cooking with Western cooking,” Siao says. “That brainstorm became Wild Ginger.”

Popular entrées include the Crazy Cow, which is traditional sushi rice topped by a sliver of lightly cooked steak and covered with a thin slice of jalapeno pepper.

“One of our best sellers is the Miso Sea Bass, where the fish is marinated in and infused with the miso sauce,” Siao says. “We also have some very innovative sushi that’s a real fusion of East and West.”

Since opening in May 2008, the restaurant has received rave reviews for its menu and its open, Hawaiian-style décor featuring waterfalls and floor-to-ceiling windows.

“We wanted a warm, welcoming place, and, while we don’t have the sea nearby, we do have these huge trees and green areas, so we were able to create a space that feels like the coast,” Siao says.

The restaurant’s dishes vary during the seasons and as specific items become available.

rentwood’s thriving technology sector has given rise to a popular educational series.

Tech Strategies, sponsored by the Brentwood Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce, delivers pertinent, technology-related tools and training to small-business owners in the area.

The growing group came about after a business roundtable meeting on technology in 2006.

Sherman Mohr Jr., president of Netsalon Software Development Inc., suggested the idea following a strong positive response to that roundtable.

When the Chamber gave the go-ahead, Mohr and co-facilitator Celeste Raines, owner of CR TechPros,

quickly developed the topics and lined up speakers for the second Tuesday of every month.

“We pride ourselves on delivering low-cost or free recommendations, and some of the best-in-class tools that are offered,” Mohr says. “A lot of us have our finger on the pulse of what those tools really are and what is available. That’s really what Tech Strategies is all about – providing people with resources and tools to implement technology in their business that they would not have known existed had it not been for this venue.”

Since technology is a moving target, the series has no shortage of new and interesting topics.

“Our numbers are growing, and we’re starting to do some fun things like create a portal at for the attendees who show up for the luncheons,” Mohr says. “We’ve got about 330 people in it now. It’s a great way to reach out to the tech and entrepreneur communities and invite them to take part in what the Chamber is doing.”

ark Cleveland is from the state that put Nike on the map, and he hasn’t strayed far from the whole footwear idea.

He just moved to socks.The Eugene, Ore., native purchased Swiftwick, manufac-

turer of a 200-thread-count sock made with olefin, a synthetic fiber that draws moisture away from the foot. Designed for biking, running and other sports that are rough on feet, the socks have become popular in athletic circles.

Sock sales first took off when Tour de France star Robbie McEwen wore them in several race stages in France in 2007. Cleveland later gave samples of the sock to 300 participants in an endurance mountain bike race in Tennessee, and he was inundated with requests for orders.

For Cleveland, the company is proof that, with enough drive and determination, a vision can become a reality. And with Cleveland’s successful business track record, it’s no surprise that Swiftwick hit the ground, well, running.

“The attraction to operating several of my own companies was overpowering, no matter the awards or high salary,” Cleveland says. “Following my plan and dreams in business, I can move faster, be more responsive to markets, create higher-quality products and provide service without com-promise, generating wealth for my team of investors, employees and for my family.”

And while many might put off a new business venture in the current economy, Cleveland says that the combination of Brentwood’s entrepreneurial spirit and the quality of Swiftwick’s product make now as good a time as any.

“The resources around here, the executive talent and the workforce are outstanding,” he says. “There are a lot of entrepreneurial leaders in this city, and it’s a responsive town to growing a new business.”

he Chamber’s Women in Business program started as a small monthly

forum for local women business leaders, and the popular group has outgrown two locations in the past four years.

“A group of people at the Chamber thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be great to get a bunch of women together,’ and we’ve never looked back,” says Anna Hill, chief design officer for Nantuckit Furniture Co. and the past chair of the WIB steering committee.

For the last three years, WIB has convened at The Martin Center, where it has a bit more room to expand.

“We had about 20 or 30 women at the first meeting,” Hill says. “We have around 100 women at our luncheons now. It has become a forum for women in business, or women getting into business. We share ideas, discuss issues, have speakers that pertain to our issues, and a lot of personal stories about what women have overcome and how they’ve gotten through obstacles to get to where they are today.”

In 2009 the group will launch a mentoring program, an idea that’s been on the table for the past couple of years.

Hill says WIB hasn’t yet come close to its critical mass in terms of members or outreach.

“There’s just so much energy, and there’s such a great group of women on the steering committee and at the luncheons who want to see this program succeed,” she says.

corporate headquarters’ location should include a few basic qualities, such as a highly skilled and educated workforce.

It should be in a strategic location with convenient transportation, compet itive tax advantages and an enviable quality of life.

Brentwood and Cool Springs have these in spades – and international companies have taken notice.

Marshall Shumate, chairman of the Economic and Community Development Committee of the Brentwood Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce, says this area scores even more points on intangibles.

“I think it’s the intrinsic qualities that really close the deal for our area,” he says. “You can’t really measure family atmosphere, the spirit of Middle Tennessee’s people and the general charm of the area.”

Another plus is the “unchallenged reputation of integrity of our political leaders – especially in our current envi-ronment,” he says. “That is a huge benefit to our area.”

The proof, of course, is in the growing list of corporations that call the Brentwood-Cool Springs area home.

Nissan North America’s $100 million Cool Springs head-quarters opened its doors in August 2008 and houses more than 1,000 employees.

In December 2006, Community Health Systems moved into its new 175,000-square-foot Cool Springs head quarters. The nation’s leading operator of hospitals in smaller communities, Community Health already had head quarters

in Williamson County and chose to stay. Disease-management leader Healthways relocated from

Nashville in 2008 to a new $65 million headquarters in Cool Springs.

Tractor Supply, the nation’s largest farm and ranch retailer, boasts a Brentwood headquarters address, as does payment and transaction processor ComData Corp. Mars Petcare’s new headquarters opened in the summer of 2007 in Duke Realty’s Aspen Grove office development in Cool Springs.

Also in Aspen Grove is a regional headquarters of Verizon Wireless, which opened in September 2008.

Verizon employs more than 750 in the new two-story, 180,000-square-foot facility, which houses financial, sales and customer-service operations.

“We are going to continue hiring over the next several years. We have capacity to eventually grow to about 1,350 employees,” says Alan Willett, a headquarters director for Verizon.

The company considered eight to 10 sites in Middle Tennessee before choosing Cool Springs.

“This was just the best fit for us,” Willett says. “This is a very fast-growing, very dynamic community, and we felt like we would be able to tap into a very skilled and fast-growing local workforce.”

The governor’s office and local government officials were “very receptive to the deal and made it an easy decision for us,” says Willett, a Williamson County native.

“It’s a beautiful part of the country,” he adds. “I certainly wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”

he Brentwood Cool Springs Chamber of Commerce isn’t con-tent to have one major program

in the works. Or even two or three.These days, chamber staffers and

members are involved in multiple efforts designed to boost local business’ bottom lines, give training to future community leaders, provide workforce training and more, says Brad Dunn, financial advisor/area executive for Pinnacle Financial Partners and the chamber’s 2009 board chairman.

“Our youth and leadership programs are two that really highlight the commitment the chamber has made to the community,” Dunn says. “We want to make sure they have all the resources available, because we know the benefits they provide to individuals who are very involved in the community.”

Also on the teaching front, the chamber is gathering its various workshops, seminars and programs to create the “chamber university” – a single-stop opportunity to find out about all the organization’s activities.

“We have found that the programs put on by our economic-development committee, our Tech Strategies group and others really add a lot of value to our business community,” Dunn says. “But if we can group them, control the catalog a little more, then we can do a better job of meeting our audiences’ needs. Plus the university concept implies growth and learning, which is what we do here.”

Economic development is also a key focus for 2009.

“We’ve always had a committee focused on this, but we have broadened our reach as we have considered sustainability, green building and other issues,” Dunn says.

Dunn and the chamber board have implemented a strategic plan that will

reorganize the board into four teams. One will focus on the chamber univer-sity, another on economic development, and the others on annual programs, member recruitment and retention, and other issues.

“We have a lot of collaborative people who are really fired up about going in this direction – about creating teams of people that will help carry out the work,” Dunn says.

With around 1,000 members, the chamber represents much of the area’s

business community – but there’s always room for more.

“We’re always working to retain our members and to grow new ones, and so we’re working on creating affinity group strategies that will let us reach groups that we currently do not,” Dunn says. “We’re also working to get all our members involved, and not just calling them when it’s time to renew. When members are active and involved from day one, it’s better all the way around.”

he Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory has long been known as a science and engineering learning center,

where the community can view the wonders of outer space.

But visitors can see more than one kind of star here.

The observatory has developed a repu- ta tion in recent years as the site of the popular outdoor Bluebird on the Mountain concert series, featuring talent booked by the Bluebird Café – the pre-eminent singer-songwriter club in Nashville.

“Just like the original Bluebird Café,

we showcase the best of Nashville’s singer-songwriters,” says Nancy Dwyer, outreach coordinator for the Vanderbilt Dyer Observatory. “In the spirit of old drive-in movies, tickets are sold by the carload — one ticket gets in a single car with up to eight people in it — so folks invite their friends and make it a party.”

Concerts run once a month from May to October, and the event is usually a sellout every time.

The audience usually shows up early with blankets, lawn chairs and coolers full of food, and they settle on the observ-

atory’s front lawn for some al fresco dining and music under the stars.

The observatory also partners with Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music to offer free Music on the Mountain concerts. Each concert has a different theme, with music ranging from Appalachian to big band and swing.

Concerts are scheduled around the sunsets. After the performance, when the stars begin to shine, the telescope is opened for visitors to view the night sky.

The observatory – an impressive dome at the top of a big hill on nine acres of land – typically sees about 11,000 visitors each year, including school groups.

“Our mission is to inspire people, especially schoolchildren, about the won-ders of space exploration, astronomy and science in general,” Dwyer says.

The observatory houses a 24-inch Seyfert telescope in the main dome and a StarChamber, conceived by British land artist Chris Drury as a way for visitors to explore the relationship between science, nature and art. It simultaneously serves as a sundial, as a lens to the sky and as an extraordinary piece of outdoor sculpture, Dwyer says.

The observatory also has an Internet-ready videoconferencing unit, which allows astronomy experts, astronauts and others to interact with students in real time.

And some renovations are in the works as well.

“We are undertaking a complete renovation of the house that was built by the observatory’s first director, Carl Seyfert, in the 1950s,” Dwyer says. “It will be a wonderful place for local businesses to host their meetings and retreats. We’re only minutes from down town, but it feels like you’re in the country up on the mountain. With a big fireplace and outdoor deck, it’s a great place for business or social gatherings.”

t’s good to be green, and Brentwood knows it.

Whether residents are hitting the trails for a weekend run or watching their children play sports, they have almost 600 acres of parks and greenways to enjoy – all within city limits.

“People are so busy all the time, and they want a place to relax when they do have spare time,” says Dave Bunt, direc-tor of Brentwood Parks and Recreation. “They want to ride bikes or play sports, and there just aren’t a lot of places to do that unless you go to a park. And we have several.”

The largest of Brentwood’s nine parks is Crockett Park, with more than 164 acres of groomed greens, open fields, first-class athletic facilities, the Eddy Arnold Amphitheater and the historic Cool Springs House.

Among the park’s unique features is the Disc Course, a 2007 project of Leadership Brentwood. “It is identical to a golf course with tees and fairways, but you throw discs instead of hitting golf balls, and they land in baskets instead of holes,” Bunt says. “Scoring is the same

as golf, and every hole has a par. It’s very popular and gets lots of play.”

The amphitheater is a favorite place on summer evenings, and hundreds come out to enjoy the free summer concert series. On the Fourth of July, it’s home to Brentwood’s fireworks show.

The Cool Springs House was moved to its present site in Crockett Park in 1993. Originally a two-room log house built by James and Penelope Carothers in the 1830s, the house has been expanded through the years and now provides a beautiful setting for weddings and receptions.

Bunt and his team of 10 full-time and eight seasonal employees recently completed a new section of bikeways and bike trails on Wilson Pike that connects the Ravenwood Trail to Split Log Road.

“We have about 14 miles of bike trails and multipurpose trails that are used for roller-blading, walking and jogging,” Bunt says.

Two parks – Deerwood Arboretum and Nature Center and Primm Park – feature educational activities. Deerwood is a 27-acre, state-certified arboretum

with more than 69 different species of identified and locatable trees, most of which are native to Tennessee. Bikeways and jogging trails, ponds, a wildflower meadow and a nature center complex make this a popular park, and an educational curriculum is available.

The 31-acre Primm Park includes the historic Boiling Spring Academy and five mounds from the Mound Builders, circa 1200 A.D., the last of the prehistoric Native Americans to live in this area.

“We live in a community where citizens expect nice things, and they make parks a priority,” Bunt says. “Parks are more and more important in today’s culture, as people need a nice place to enjoy their leisure time.”

rowing communities rely on quality health care, and the Brentwood area has a solid

partner in Vanderbilt Williamson County.After more than 20 years in nearby

Franklin, the Vanderbilt Medical Group has added to its roster of physicians and services in Brentwood and Cool Springs – and it will continue to expand to meet local demand, says Dr. James E. “Pete” Powell, medical director of Vanderbilt Williamson County.

“We look at the community’s needs and then find the ways that we can most

successfully provide service to meet those,” Powell says. “In 2006, we began the Spring Hill clinic with a primary-care doctor, and we also started a walk-in clinic. Later that year we opened our Brentwood practice on Old Hickory Boulevard with a couple of doctors, and in 2008 we opened in the Westhaven community. Now, along those same lines, we are attempting to expand some of our other services in the county.”

The Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital at Vanderbilt now offers eight pediatric specialty off-site clinics at

2105 Edward Curd Lane in Franklin. Previously, children in Williamson County were receiving care from the Pediatric Ophthalmology Clinic and the Neurology Sleep Center on the first and third floors of the building. Specialty services added recently on the second f loor include adolescent medicine, pediatric cardiology, child development and neurodevelopmental disabilities, pediatric diabetes and endocrinology, pediatric gastroenterology and hepa-tology, and pediatric nephrology. The second floor includes 18 exam rooms, which makes scheduling appointments, traveling and parking much easier for Williamson County residents.

Through new partnerships and other affiliations, Vanderbilt now has more than 50 physicians and a similar number of support staff in Williamson County, providing both primary and specialty care. Among the newer offerings are Vanderbilt Rheumatology Cool Springs; the Vanderbilt Interventional Pain Center Cool Springs, an extension of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center; and the Vanderbilt Orthopaedic Clinic.

For Powell, being able to add specialty physicians to VWC’s roster is an exciting new development.

“It’s great to have a full-time rheu-matologist here,” he says. “And now we’re trying to decide what we’ll be able to do next. We have to be very careful what we do, and how we do it, but we’re very fortunate that Vanderbilt is able to look at future services and plan expansions accordingly.”

OB-GYN services are on the drawing board, Powell says, as is an endocri-nologist and related services. Much will depend on community input, as well as the local and regional economy, available space and other factors.

“I think the reason we have been successful in Williamson County is that we’ve been able to demonstrate the need before we put any services in,” Powell says. “And we’ve been able to use the space we have for expanding services, or find space we can lease until a more permanent location is ready. That has allowed us to go in different directions but still stabilize the new services very quickly.” – Joe Morris

ith 37 schools and an enroll-ment approaching 30,000, Williamson County Schools

are popular – and in a constant state of planning.

Between 1,500 and 1,800 students enter the system each year, attracted by the high test-score achievements, high grad uation rate and low student-teacher ratios.

“It’s a nice problem to have,” says Pat Anderson, chair of the Williamson County Board of Education. “We’ve had a good reputation for as long as I can remember. The whole community values education, and so we get a lot of strong support from parents, other residents and the businesses.”

The county’s economic-development leaders tout the state’s top-rated school system in their recruiting efforts, and with each success comes an influx of new students. But with a five-year capital outlay plan and around $125

million to fund it, the system works to be ready for any contingency.

“Sometimes doing our projections is like trying to hit a moving target, but we have an incredible staff that works very hard with the planning commission and with the developers, so we can stay on top of where we need to place schools,” Anderson says. “Every year they hit our enrollment projections within one-tenth of a percent, which is quite remarkable given how many students we’re adding.”

Over the next two years, the system will begin work on an elementary school in the Westhaven area, a project that was slated for a 2013 opening but has been moved up due to projected student demand. A new middle school and high school also are in the works for the same period, both set for the rapidly growing southern end of the county.

“We are moving forward quickly on those three, and there are several other

projects that we’ll be getting into over the next five years,” Anderson says. “We have to step back and adjust those plans from time to time, but we’re always addressing the need.”

In addition to its top-notch regular programs, the system offers specialized classes and training courses at some of the schools.

Some, such as Franklin High School’s culinary arts program, quickly fill up from within that school’s zone. If there’s room, students from elsewhere in the county may apply to transfer.

“We have an auto program, some technical programs and other different types of career and technical training at the schools,” Anderson says. “We try to meet student needs throughout the district rather than focusing on just one location. And the classes usually fill up, so we think they’re well placed.”
