A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR:As I often say, Clarksville is the biggest small town in America.
We are blessed to live in a city that provides modern age amenities for a comfortable, healthy and productive lifestyle. There are several industries in Clarksville that provide excellent employment opportunities. We have a great public school system as well as a highly ranked four-year private university. Clarksville has an abundance of recreational opportunities - fishing, boating, floating, water skiing, swimming, hiking, biking, camping and hunting. We are also fortunate to have several playgrounds, ball fields, soccer fields, gyms, indoor walking track, walking trails, bike trails, outdoor water park and an indoor pool. There are opportunities for all regardless of age or ability. I am committed to the belief that to be successful as a community, the residents of the community must be involved. I ask the citizens of Clarksville to join me in improving our neighborhoods, schools and our community as a whole. Together the sky is the limit. In the last few years alone, we have brought in over $4.5 million in grant funding for projects ranging from our levee to an inclusive playground at Cline Park. - David |
