About Save the Narrows of the Harpeth
Our Mission
- At Save the Narrows of the Harpeth, our mission is to preserve the geographical region in South Cheatham county known as the Narrows of the Harpeth. This site is home to Mound Bottom & many other natural historical landmarks. This area should be preserved for future generations. We believe that by protecting these resources, we can better understand our past and create a brighter future.
Protect the things you love!
The Issue
We are opposed to the planned commercial development and potential rezoning of 1548 Old Cedar Hill Road, currently known as Bell’s Reserve and owned by River Venture Group, LLC.
The planned development, if approved, will forever change the landscape of the rural area near The Narrows of the Harpeth State Park. A park meant for all Tennesseans to enjoy. The large commercial mixed use development, the size of a town, would include 120 residences for short term rentals, restaurants and a spa/fitness center.
We ask the Cheatham County Commission and Planning Commission to oppose any change to the County zoning law that would allow commercial development at 1548 Old Cedar Hill Rd.
In spite of overwhelming public opposition the Cheatham County Planning Commission is still pursuing changing the current zoning law & growth plan to allow Agricultural PUD or AG PUD amendments to accommodate the commercial spot zoning of Bell's Reserve.
