Columbia, Maury County and surrounding area
Columbia and Maury County represent one of the fastest-growing construction markets in Tennessee. Maury County has consistently ranked among the top-growing counties in the state by both population and industrial investment. The Spring Hill corridor — anchored by the GM/NUMMI manufacturing heritage and currently home to multiple EV-related manufacturing expansions — drives a significant volume of industrial, commercial, and multi-family construction that requires fire protection systems.
Downtown Columbia is undergoing meaningful commercial revitalization, adding retail, restaurant, and mixed-use projects to the existing healthcare, educational, and government facility base. Columbia and Maury County serve as a regional hub for surrounding rural counties, generating healthcare facility construction at Maury Regional Medical Center and related medical office buildings.
