Frequently Asked Questions

What does it mean to Hyelander?

Pledging to become a Hyelander means you are expressing strong interest to join the Tennessee Hyeland Project by moving your permanent or vacation residency to DeKalb County, Tennessee or its surrounding areas. The pledge is non-binding and there is no financial or other form of risk if you change your mind.

How does one pledge to move?

After you join our mailing list, we’ll start a conversation where we outline the principles and concept of the Hyelander pledge. At any point afterwards you can message or call us to pledge your move.

Where are we planning to move?

The Upper Cumberland, here’s why.

Has anyone moved yet?

A vanguard of the Hyeland Project have already moved to the area. Others are waiting to reach the pledge count before moving. All are encouraged to move and join the community at anytime.
