Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett on downtown Clarksville Event Center

Justin Bradford spoke with Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett about the proposed event center in downtown Clarksville. The proposal has been met with very positive reactions. The center would have the ability to have ice (2 sheets with one main arena), host concerts, events, etc.

The economic impact would be $20+ million for the community. $13 million would be related to consumer spending within the community.

Listen for the future plans, how it will come together, how the Predators and Austin Peay will be involved and the targeted groundbreaking.
