The City of Crossville and the Cumberland County Industrial Development Board celebrated the official groundbreaking for the Crossville Commons today. Located across from Buc-ee’s, the 18.9-acre, $50 million retail development will feature major national tenants including Aldi, Hobby Lobby, Marshall’s, and Burlington.

Developed in partnership by Monica L. Cantera-Serralta and Crossville Commons, LP, the project is projected to create 200 new jobs. Infrastructure for the site is being funded through a public-private partnership utilizing sales tax increment financing rather than existing public funds. Earth-moving equipment is already on-site as construction officially gets underway.
