The City of Millersville is located in Middle Tennessee approximately 20 miles north of Nashville. Thank you for visiting us on the Internet and we look forward to seeing you around town!
Since its inception, Millersville has aggressively pursued grant funds to develop and improve its superstructure. Grants and low interest loans were acquired for the construction. With the proceeds of a bond issue, the city initiated an extensive street paving project in 1989 and paved all of the primary roads within the city. Also in 1989, the city constructed its new City Hall funded primarily by a second bond issue.
Today, Millersville is a developing city of the 21st century. Two fire halls, modern equipment, and a dedicated full time fire chief and volunteer staff have dropped the fire rating to a Class 6. Thirteen full time police officers, together with an excellent reserve staff of officers, patrol around the clock to provide security for the residents. Well over 90% of the households are on the city’s sewer system, with plans in work to connect 100%.
