NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — We are getting a first look at a proposed outdoor space for the Nashville Yards plaza.
According to the Nashville Business Journal, the plaza will be named "Ascension Saint Thomas Landing."
It will be a 1.31 acre pedestrian park in the 19-acre development downtown being built by Southwest Value Partners.
The green space proposed will stretch from Broadway to the future Pinnacle tower that is being built. The proposal includes a dog park, garden ramp, pickleball courts, courtyard seating, urban farming, pop-up retail and be a host to community events.
The plan also includes renovations to the outside of the Union Station Hotel which would include a stage and bar.
The total cost of the Nashville Yards project is over one billion dollars.
The proposal was submitted to Metro Council last week and will go before the Metro Planning department for approval July 25.
You'll love her and you'll love to hate her! Meet Trashley: the bad girl of Nashville littering. She stars in a new campaign that's a throwback to an anti-litter movement from years past. Her role has been reimagined by NDOT as a fast-paced, Dukes of Hazzard-style wrecking ball of a lady. You'll find yourself cracking up as you meet the actress behind Trashley and hear how she landed the role of Queen of Trash.
