Dickson, Tennessee, has a full slate of new housing in front of its planners. The City of Dickson Planning Commission's Oct. 20 agenda carried three large residential requests, a small subdivision plat and an industrial annexation, according to the amended meeting agenda. A week later, the state named Dickson County one of the counties getting a new housing market analysis.
What came before planners
- Crestview Park Drive: a rezoning of 44.4 acres from highway commercial and agriculture to R2 medium density residential, with a sketch plan for a possible 98 single-family homes behind the medical office building, plus a matching R-2 cluster request.
- Oakmont Drive: an R1 cluster request for 61.41 acres off Oakmont Drive and Cedar Hill Road behind Oakmont School, for 136 single-family homes. The land is already zoned R-1.
- Villas at Buckner Place: an amended R-3 PUD preliminary master plan on Highway 70 West for 186 townhomes in 14 buildings.
- Riverbend Subdivision Phase 1: a final plat for a possible 9 lots on East Piney Road.
Together the three larger requests add up to more than four hundred homes. The agenda lists the requests; the city's minutes will show what was approved.
Industrial annexation hearing Nov. 17
The commission also set a public hearing on annexing several Turkey Creek Road parcels into the city, most of them to be zoned M-1 light industrial, along with rezoning nearby Tidwell Switch Road property to M-1. The hearing on the annexation and plan of services is set for the November 17, 2026 meeting at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall. Planners also scheduled a November work session on new zoning regulations and the new state planning law.

A state housing study for Dickson County
On Oct. 27 the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development announced housing market analyses for 14 counties, including Dickson and Sumner in Middle Tennessee, the Dickson Post reported. Points Consulting will visit each county and review its needs, including the housing units needed for population growth, ownership and rental housing, and single- and multi-family housing, according to the Herald-Citizen.
Dickson County Director of Economic Development and Tourism Terry Malone said the study is not a low-income housing program. "This is an overall housing market study to show what we have, what we need, and how we can get there," she said. "If I'm bringing jobs, I need places for them to live. And at this point, we're short."
