Local Leaders Gather to Celebrate Coming of the Dickson County Center for Higher Education

Leaders from area institutions gathered to celebrate at the site of what will be the Dickson County Center for Higher Education. Located off of Hwy 46, south of I-40 adjacent to TriStar Horizon’s Natchez campus, the new $35 million, state-of-the-art center will be the location of Nashville State’s Dickson campus and TCAT Dickson academic programming. TriStar Horizon Medical Center generously donated the nine-acres where the center will be built.
