During a recent government meeting, concerns were raised regarding the ongoing development in the Silver Springs subdivision of Mount Juliet, which has seen significant changes since its inception in 2008. Originally planned for four to five phases, the project has now expanded to 14 phases, prompting frustration among local residents who feel they lack control over the process.

A resident highlighted issues with the Homeowners Association (HOA), which is primarily managed by the builder and one other individual, leading to perceived conflicts of interest. The resident expressed concerns that homeowners have no real say in decisions, as the builder has the authority to amend rules without oversight. This lack of checks and balances has left residents feeling powerless as development continues.

Traffic congestion was another major point of contention, with residents noting difficulties in navigating local roads, particularly during school hours. The addition of 90 more homes is expected to exacerbate these issues, raising questions about the adequacy of current infrastructure. Residents urged local officials to prioritize road improvements before further development occurs.

The meeting underscored the growing tension between community needs and ongoing construction, as residents called for more transparency and accountability in the development process.
