MT. JULIET, Tenn. (WTVF) — A mixed use plan just in Mt. Juliet got a preliminary seal of approval from commissioners on Tuesday night.
The new project currently called "Golden Bear Place" would be at Beckwith Road and Golden Bear Gateway near I-40 on about 80 acres.
Current plans for the mixed use property include 660 homes. 370 would be developed as multi-family units, more than 100 cottages and townhomes for a 55+ crowd and almost 200 units that can be senior apartments or assisted living.
There's also a hotel, restaurant, convenience store, storage units and a bowling alley included in the plan.
Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the development's preliminary plan on second reading Tuesday night after a first reading approval in November.
They also approved a piece of the plan that would require the developers to pay $7500 per unit to put toward road improvements in that area.
Young or old, we all love to play board and card games! Those games become even more important when you are indoors and don't have the ability to get outside, like patients in a hospital.
