Council advances proposal for quarry-area warehouse in South Nashville

Metro Council has moved forward with a proposal to construct a warehouse adjacent to an Antioch quarry, facing opposition by area residents who cited concerns related to road safety and the environment. 

The rezoning ordinance would allow for an up to 220,000-square-foot warehouse located on 23 acres of land at 3187 Franklin Limestone Road. The wooded property is currently leased by Vulcan Materials, which runs a nearby quarry and asphalt plant. The land also sits adjacent to a waste management facility. The warehouse would be leased to multiple tenants.
