West Nashville Community Plan meeting tonight (March 23)

The Metro Planning Commission is holding an open house tonight (March 23) at 6 p.m. in the Cohn Adult Learning Center library. Neighbors are encouraged to attend.

Here's more information from neighbor Chris Veit:

Since late last year, residents, business owners and other stakeholders have been participating in community meetings to update the Community Plan for West Nashville (Subarea 7).

The West Nashville Community Plan is one of fourteen community plans which guide growth and development in Davidson County. Each of those plans are updated every seven to ten years, and amended as necessary; the Planning Commission approved the current West Nashville plan in 2000, with amendments in 2003, 2005, and 2007. The proposed amendments to the current plan have been focusing on improving our community by setting guidelines for more walkability, smart growth and sustainability, so that we - as well as future generations - can enjoy a better place to live, work and play.

There will be an additional open house meeting for the southern neighborhoods on Monday, March 30 at the Jewish Community Center in Bellevue, if you are unable to attend the meeting tonight.
