Stanton, Tennessee —
Small‑Town Feel.
Big‑Time Momentum.
Stanton, home to Ford and SKon’s $5.6 Billion, 3,600-acre BlueOval City, is a small town with big momentum: significant retail leakage to nearby markets, shovel-ready land, and brand-new utilities—plus a projected ~10,000 new residents over 10 years. It’s a once-in-a-generation window to bring neighborhood retail to Main Street and larger formats to US-70 and the SR 222 corridor.
Why Now
Demand is already here. Infrastructure is in the ground. Sites are open and simple. Stanton offers a low‑friction, high‑visibility launchpad for both neighborhood and destination retail.
- Proximity & Momentum: ~400+ acres along SR 222 and 200+ additional acres sit adjacent to BlueOval City — the region’s next employment and traffic engine. Developers can position on the primary commute path.
- Built‑to‑Suit on Main Street: Town‑owned vacant lots are available; the Town can build shells for tenants to finish out — accelerating openings while preserving the small‑town Main Street character.
- Utility Upgrades Complete/Underway: Water Plant upgrade delivering 800+ GPM; new 12" water main & sewer lines along SR 222; an additional 10" water main along SR 179 in progress. Capacity is ready for users.
- Simple Access, Minimal Red Tape: No traffic lights in town and nearly all sites are raw land — fewer constraints, faster timelines, and highly visible frontage on US‑70 and SR 222.
