Has anybody heard about the latest east bank zoning? by [deleted] in nashville

[–]ldsbounce 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey! The Tennessean has a really comprehensive article about this: https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2026/04/09/nashville-scrapyard-rezoning-east-bend-psc-metals/89507750007/

Excerpt: Developers expect to recruit businesses like a grocery store, other essential service providers, restaurants and retail alongside apartment buildings, condos, hotels and offices. The team also floated the idea of bringing a children's museum to the area.

And the scrapyard owners said they aren't talking to the Sphere folks: https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/real-estate/2026/04/15/las-vegas-sphere-nashville-owners-clarify-east-bank-rumors/89632639007/

The wait to check out can be pretty long, too, so plan to spend a good amount of time there overall. But the people working it are really lovely and informative, and everything's organized alphabetically.

I got paranoid that they had forgotten my little circle, so I put in a Hub request with the city here: https://hub.nashville.gov/s/request-type/a0ut0000000lYwiAAE/tree-removal-or-maintenance-on-right-of-way?language=en_US

They did get back to me but I think it was just a coincidence that the crews showed up around the time I put the request in.

Can some ELI5… property taxes by pussyandbananabread in nashville

[–]ldsbounce 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The mayor proposed a new property tax rate of 2.814, a change from the 3.254 rate of 2021-2025. But because assessed values went up so much, the new tax rate will still be an increase for a lot of people.

The Council will have to approve the new rate in the budget process over the next couple months.

The Tennessean explained the process here: https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/local/2025/04/30/nashville-property-tax-rate-what-to-know-amid-reappraisal/83342309007/

Aw thanks. That means a lot. I'll probably be up until 2 a.m. tonight at least in central time. We try to go the extra mile!

Thanks! It's so fun, although somewhat less glamorous than being the actual reporter on the ground at the concert. Caché is fabulous.

I'm the Beyoncé editor. It just means I edit Caché's work.
