City Of Nashville: Steering Committee To Hold First Nashville North/Bordeaux Participatory Budgeting Meeting

Press release from the City of Nashville:

7/6/2021

A steering committee of resident volunteers who are set to lead a Nashville North/Bordeaux participatory budgeting initiative will hold their first meeting at 5:15 p.m. on Thursday, July 8.

Mayor John Cooper in March included $2 million in his capital spending plan to bring participatory budgeting to Nashville for the first time. As the Metro Council’s 37208 special committee examined, North Nashville is a historically under-served area in need of infrastructure investment.

Residents within the North Nashville participatory budgeting area will determine the infrastructure investments they wish to fund in a process led by citizen volunteers and the community.

The July 8 meeting of the steering committee will be more administrative in nature and will not include a public comment period.
