CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Recruiting Costco involved a massive land assembly effort near Interstate 24, combining private trust property with Montgomery County-owned acreage. The Economic Development Council also arranged a performance-based incentive model, ensuring taxpayers only provide rewards after specific sales tax and revenue milestones are achieved.
On this week’s episode of Clarksville Conversations, host Charlie Koon talks to the EDC’s Buck Dellinger, Josh Ward and Janet Wilson about how the store will attract high-end retailers like Nordstrom Rack and Trader Joe’s while keeping millions in local tax dollars from “bleeding” to nearby cities.
