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.
I'm not sure there is a story that's brought a bigger smile to our faces than this one celebrating Ms. Marie. The story of her service during World War II is amazing in itself — she is a true Rosie the Riveter! What was also amazing was to see was how an entire community turned out to celebrate her. You've got to check this out!
