Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This ordinance approves the second amendment to the East Bank Redevelopment Plan, as managed by the Metropolitan Housing and Development Agency. The ordinance would replace the text of the East Bank Redevelopment Plan and include new maps and descriptions of the project boundaries.
The original East Bank Redevelopment Plan was enacted by Ordinance No. BL96-163 in 1996 to facilitate the construction of an NFL football stadium. The project area was extended in 1999 by Ordinance No. BL99-1647 to include properties on and in the vicinity of Main Street and Woodland Street in East Nashville.
The proposed amendment reduces the size of the project area of the East Bank Redevelopment Plan and extends the duration of the plan until December 31, 2026. Since the creation of the East Bank Development Authority through Ordinance No. BL2024-428 and Chapter 68 of the Private Acts of 2024, the original portion of the project area is no longer necessary. The amendment would remove the part of the project area west of the Interstate 65/24 loop from the redevelopment plan.
The portions of the project area east of the interstate loop will remain in the redevelopment plan until December 31, 2026. The extension will allow for time to consider the creation of a Transit Oriented Development District.
The MDHA Board of Commissioners approved this amendment at its October 14, 2025 meeting.
