CLARKSVILLE, TN – On Tuesday, April 27, the Clarksville-Montgomery County Green Certification Program held a green ribbon cutting to welcome J. Clark Architecture & Design as the newest member of the Program. The ribbon cutting was attended by the Green Certification Program Board Members and Montgomery County Mayor Jim Durrett.
Jon Clark, owner of J. Clark Architecture & Design, is proud to be the newest member of the program. His staff of three have worked diligently to reduce the amount of paper waste in the office. In early 2020, the office was averaging over 650 copies per month but by February of 2021 that number was down to under 100.
CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – The arena under construction in downtown Clarksville finally has an official name, or the start of one: F&M Bank.
The bank is buying naming rights to the facility, but it is not yet decided whether it will be called the F&M Bank Arena, F&M Bank Event Center or, as some jokingly suggested at the announcement Tuesday afternoon, the F&M Bank Hippodrome.

One of the most iconic sports brands in middle Tennessee will be joined by one of Clarksville s most iconic businesses, in naming the new Montgomery County downtown events center.
Sabertooth Sports & Entertainment, LLC and Clarksville-based F&M Bank have executed a multi-year naming rights agreement for the multipurpose events center, officials announced Tuesday afternoon at the bank s main office on Franklin Street.
A specific name and logo for the venue will be announced at a later date. Sabertooth Sports & Entertainment, LLC is owned and operated by Predators Holdings, LLC the Nashville Predators.
The announcement comes one week after the Predators unveiled the formation of SS&E, an operations and sales service venture that will manage the 250,000-square-foot facility.
Montgomery County budget approvals for a new north Clarksville public library branch and improvements to Stokes Field headline a list of projects on hold, pending word on an anticipated $40.5 million in federal stimulus funding.
In all, the county has identified 16 capital projects this springtime budget preparation season that could be funded with federal stimulus money at least in part rather than with county taxpayer dollars.
But the unknownsin play with stimulus payout have placed projects on hold. What we think we know today is the amount that we will receive, said County Mayor Jim Durrett. It will be in two payments and there is a deadline on when the money must be spent.

Update, 6:10 p.m.: The nature of the investigation that led to the firing remains under wraps, including, apparently, to Frank Tate himself.
Clarksville Now reached out to Tate for a reaction to his termination. His wife, Holly, responded by text.
“We were not given any information regarding the reasons behind the decision to terminate,” she said. “Frank has the right to defend himself and our family, and we can only conclude this is potentially a political matter.
“We have consulted legal counsel. I completely support and stand by behind Frank and (am) proud of what he has accomplished for the Clarksville community.”
