Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution accepts an in-kind grant from the Cumberland River Compact to the Nashville Farmer’s Market to convert underutilized asphalt into green space. The Cumberland River Compact would convert small portions of underutilized parking spaces, equaling 1,950 square feet, to green space and plant trees that would provide shade and improve water quality. The value of the in-kind grant is not to exceed $20,726.45 with no cash match. The Metropolitan Government would not receive funds for this project.
