every third-grade student in the county,
including those in public and private
schools. Students then immediately
participate in a 15-20 minute session
on how to use the dictionary, including
looking up words such as ‘service’
and ‘community’ for practice. Each
third-grade teacher gets a dictionary
for the classroom as well.

Smith is vice president of
Brentwood-based CPS Land, which is
overseeing construction at Providence
that will eventually feature 3,400 homes
located off Interstate 40 at the Mt. Juliet
Road exit (exit 226). More than 1,100 of
those homes were already sold and
occupied by the end of 2010.
“There are 10 builders currently
doing work in Providence, constructing
everything from starter homes to
townhomes to custom homes,” Smith
says. “Prices range from $180,000 to
$450,000, and there are also 640 nice
apartments on the Providence site,
with another 120 apartments planned.”
Active Adults
The most vibrant sales nowadays
at Providence are occurring in what is
called the Del Webb section. Del Webb
is an active adult community for people
ages 55 and older, with amenities such
as a 15-acre lake and a $20 million
recreation/wellness center.
“Providence offers living for all

and The Bradley Barn
Grammy-winning singer and fiddler Charlie Daniels opens
all of his concert appearances with the same introduction.
“When we go on stage, we always tell people ‘We’re the
Charlie Daniels Band from Mt. Juliet, Tennessee.’” Home to
Daniels since 1971, the city features a park (with a playground
and walking trail) named after him.
The historic Bradley Barn recording studio in Mt. Juliet has
its own story. Several years after legendary country music
producer Owen Bradley and his brother, Harold, built and sold
the first studio on what was to become Music Row in Nashville,
he created a world-class studio inside a barn in the beautiful Mt.
Juliet countryside. Bradley did this in order to have a work
location closer to home, but from the early 1960s and into the
1980s, it thrived as one of the most successful studios in country
music history. The Bradley Barn is not open to the public.
