CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – A major big-box retailer has its eye on a spot on more than 200 acres behind Governor’s Square Mall as part of a “transformative” project. The anchor tenant alone would bring in 800 jobs and $6.5 million in annual sales tax revenue for the city and county to split.

- Around 98 acres would transition to C-3.
- Around 95 acres would transition to C-4.
- Around 7 acres would transition to C-5.
