OPPORTUNITY ZONE
The Opportunity Zone legislation was birthed out of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. The legislation is designed to provide economic stimulus to disadvantaged areas. This is accomplished by providing tax incentives for investors with unrealized capital gains to deploy those gains into these areas. The incentives become more beneficial the longer they are held in an opportunity zone, with gains from the opportunity zone investment becoming tax-free after ten years. The ultimate goal for this legislation is to provide new jobs and economic growth for the communities that need them the most.

North Nashville embraces rich history, new development
In a town teeming with celebrated history, North Nashville is arguably in a class of its own.
Almost a century before country music took over Nashville, Fisk University’s Jubilee Singers were making “Music City” internationally known. North Nashville is where students from the area’s numerous schools (Fisk, Meharry Medical College and what’s now known as Tennessee State University) planned sit-ins and boycotts of local businesses during the civil rights movement of the 1960s. At that same time, rock-and-roll legends such as Little Richard and Jimi Hendrix frequented the famous nightclubs of Jefferson Street.
Today, the area is in the midst of a momentous new chapter. The new Nashville Sounds ballpark — First Tennessee Park — opened in the area known as Sulphur Dell in April. 2012 saw the opening of the 28th/31st Avenue Connector, an $18 million project that allows easier passage between the area and Nashville’s West End.
Among the biggest changes in recent decades: the redevelopment of the historic Germantown, Hope Gardens, Salemtown and Buena Vista neighborhoods, which has brought more families and young professionals to the area. MetroCenter is also based in North Nashville and is home to the Tennessee Titans’ headquarters and Watkins College of Art, Design and Film.

Tennessee-Knoxville reports that Davidson County ranks first out of 95 Tennessee counties in tourism, and that tourism has a large impact on jobs as well as local and state taxes. While Davidson County continues to be a leader in the state’s tourism industry, North Nashville should consider finding its place within this sector. As North Nashville works to attract and improve the characteristics of its permanent residents, the community may in the short term consider building upon its historic resources and new attractions such as First Tennessee Park, to take advantage of the regional tourism economy.
Historic Resources and Community Attractions
North Nashville historic resources and institutions have a regional draw, attracting tourists and, as a result, benefitting residents and businesses.
Jefferson Street has historically been the cultural and entertainment
hub of North Nashville. The corridor has played host to many nationally known recording blues and jazz artists. It also links the historically African American universities: Tennessee State University, Fisk University, and Aerial and entry sign for MetroCenter, an Meharry Medical College. In the late 1960s, however, the corridor was evolving office and industrial area in the damaged by the construction of I-40. Many residents and historic music North Nashville Community venues and businesses were displaced. Since the creation of J.U.M.P. (Jefferson Street United Merchants Partnership), the corridor’s business association, the businesses that have remained or have relocated to the corridor are working to reinvent Jefferson Street as a place of business and commerce. J.U.M.P now hosts an annual Jazz and Blues Festival that builds off of the corridor’s musical heritage.
The universities in the North Nashville Community are also historic assets and critical partners in building a strong tourism economy in North Nashville. Tennessee State University’s main campus is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and boasts a 600 acre research farm. Fisk University and its oldest structure, Jubilee Hall, are both National Historic Landmarks and are also on the list of National Register of Historic Places. Its famed Jubilee Singers continue to travel the country for performances. Adjacent to Fisk University is Meharry Medical College. Meharry is the nation’s largest private historically black health education center. It is a national leader in graduating African-Americans with advanced medical and research degrees. A new addition to North Nashville’s educational offerings is Watkins College of Art, Design, and Film. The school, located in MetroCenter, hosts art galleries with many free exhibits open to the public. The school is a community attraction that

benefits local residents and adds value to a potential tourism economy in North Nashville.
With events and attractions ranging from football homecomings, art galleries, conferences, and nationally acclaimed speakers who visit the individual campuses, the university system and its historic resources make major contributions to North Nashville’s economy. Therefore, the university system in North Nashville as a major asset will need continued support from the community and their alumni to remain attractive to the residents and visitors of the North Nashville community.
Other historic assets include The Germantown Neighborhood, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The revitalization of homes and businesses in recent decades makes the neighborhood an asset to North Nashville and the county. The neighborhood is now protected as a Historic Preservation District and hosts annual festivals including the
Germantown Street Festival, Holiday Homes Tours, and Oktoberfest.
Other amenities have been added to North Nashville, strengthening its role in the region as a destination. Completed in 2012, The Gateway to Heritage Project, initiated by JUMP and the EDGE Group, made aesthetic improvements at the I-40 entrance and exits ramps to Jefferson Street and 28th Avenue. The project enhanced the ramps with landscaping and seeks to turn the bisecting I-40 overpass into a community gathering place with murals that reflect the musical heritage of Jefferson Street.
In April 2015, First Tennessee Park—the new home of the Nashville
Sounds baseball team—opened in downtown Nashville, just across Jefferson Street from North Nashville. The baseball stadium will bring tourists, jobs, and residents into the North Nashville community. In 2014, it was announced that the National Museum of African American Music will be built at the former convention center at 5th and Broadway in downtown. By drawing attention to the history of African American Music, the museum is likely to also draw attention to Jefferson Street, creating opportunities to strengthen historical ties to the North Nashville community and its musical history.
The North Nashville Community Plan supports the preservation and growth of these assets. The Plan encourages the preservation of historic character by emphasizing building form that is compatible with adjacent historic structures rather than focusing solely on density and land use.

Natural Features and Resources
North Nashville’s open spaces and environmental features create a sense of community and place. In addition, preservation of natural and environmental features helps to keep residents safe and create areas within the region that serve as habitats for animals and other precious resources. Steep slopes are found near the Buena Vista Heights Neighborhood, however North Nashville’s most significant natural feature is the Cumberland River and its floodplains.
North Nashville is bordered by the Cumberland River, which exposes parts of the community to natural floodplains. There are a total of 1,344 acres
Clubhouse at the Ted Rhodes Golf Course of floodplain in North Nashville. Including steep slopes, wetlands, and problems soils, there are a total of 1,791 acres of environmental features in North Nashville.
North Nashville’s open space includes the greenway system, the Ted Rhodes Golf Course, and the TSU Agricultural Farm. In 2010, many of these areas flooded, but their inundation helped to protect some residential areas from additional flooding. While North Nashville is primarily an urban community, its natural features should be preserved to the greatest extent possible. In addition to protecting the community from significant flooding, assets like the TSU Agricultural Farm support local food and sustainable farming.
North Nashville Community provides Middle Tennessee housing choices, institutions and rich historical assets. North Nashville’s future vitality depends, however, on how it capitalizes on these assets to continue being a desirable community and competitive within the Middle Tennessee region. North Nashville should consider being a leader on affordable housing because of its location and proximity to Downtown Nashville. In addition to affordable housing, implementing strategies to improve the local job force creates a more comprehensive community development strategy.
