COLLIERVILLE MAYOR
Welcome to Collierville!
A
s Mayor of Collierville, I am happy to welcome you to one of the South’s friendliest and most beautiful towns, a place that my family has called home for generations. The heart of Collierville is the Historic Town Square, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. There you will find locally owned shops, boutiques, and local restaurants offering something for everyone. Outside of the Historic Square, Collierville offers a broad scope of national retailers, top restaurants that offer a wide variety of cuisine, and specialty stores for all lifestyles. In 2014, the Demand Institute classified Collierville as a “Cosmopolitan Suburb,” which they define as “fast growing, contemporary, and offers distinctive services and wide-ranging amenities.” I couldn’t agree more with their assessment. In fact, a consistent comment I often hear from both residents and visitors is, “Collierville has all the amenities and services of a large metropolitan area successfully blended with historic charm.” Both around the region and across the nation, Collierville is making headlines as one of the most desirable cities in America to live and work. Just in the past five years, Collierville has been deemed as one of the “safest cities in Tennessee” by the real estate web publication Movoto, Parade Magazine recognized Collierville as having “America’s Best Main Street,” the White House designated Collierville as a “Preserve America Community,” and various consumer publications list Collierville as “the best city in Tennessee to raise a family” and “a best city in Tennessee for job seekers.” The town of Collierville is continually working to develop a business environment that fosters growth and economic development opportunities well into the future. Collierville is blessed with assets ranging from an abundance of developable land to major highway connectors that provide regional access to our business community to a world-class school system. These assets, combined with our continual investment in infrastructure, are positioning Collierville as the emerging destination for business investment, expansion, and relocation. I welcome you to join us and live life local in Collierville. Very truly yours, Stan Joyner, Mayor of Collierville
