Greater Nashville Regional Council Formation and Purpose

The Greater Nashville Regional Council (GNRC) is the regional planning and economic development organization of the 13 counties and 52 cities of the greater Nashville region of northern Middle Tennes- see. Nashville, Music City USA is the State’s Capitol and the central urban area of the region. Counties comprising the region include: Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Houston, Humphreys, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson, and Wilson counties.

GNRC’s full Board membership is made up of the mayor of each city, the mayors and county executives of each county, two members of the State Legislature, and a minority member along with an industrial representative of each county. The full Board meets annually to elect new officers, certify the Executive Committee, and approve the annual budget and work program. GNRC’s Executive Committee, with representatives from each county, meets monthly to carry out responsibilities of directing the Council’s programs and services on behalf of member governments utilizing a professional staff of 76 people and an annual budget of over $12 million.

The Council’s primary mission through regional planning and cooperation is to help guide and accommodate the growth and development of the region in the most desirable, efficient and cost effec- tive manner, and to assist in ensuring both the environmental quality and the long-term viability of the region for all citizens.

 The State Health Insurance Program (SHIP) has continued to establish host sites throughout the region to provide greater accessibility for Medicare beneficiaries. There were 52 host sites and GNRC is working on establishing more partnerships throughout the region.  The Family Caregiver Conference was canceled this year due to the federal sequester. Efforts will be made to provide a conference in 2014. As in the past, this event will be free to all caregivers to provide a day of support, encouragement, and information to at least 200 family caregivers. During 2013, GNRC/Family Caregiver Support Program (FCSP) collaborated with Mental Health Association and Alzheimer’s Association conferences for outreach to caregivers.  Monthly Caregiver Support Group continues its over 5-year with affiliation from Mt. Nebo Missionary Baptist Church.  There is increased focus around programs that provide results through proven evidence, or Evidence Based Programs. GNRC continues to conduct the Living Well with Chronic Conditions program which provides participants with strategies that empower them to manage their own health. GNRC also continues implementation of the Critical Pathways program in partnership with the medical community to reduce rebound incidents to hospitals or other acute care settings.  GNRC conducted 883 home visits to facilitate enrollment in the CHOICES Program. CHOICES is TennCare’s Program for long term care services which includes help doing everyday activities that older or disabled adults may not be able to do themselves.  Due to Federal Sequestration in March 2013, GNRC incurred a $158,000 cut in funds and GNRC helped to offset the impact of funding reductions on the AAAD programs by reductions in staffing and strategic cuts in enrollee service plans.  Intake staff conducted 1,982 screenings to connect phone callers to needed programs and services in the Greater Nashville region.

Research and GIS  Worked with local government and public agencies, and GNRC programs to provide demographic, economic, and other information and mapping for items such as grant applications and studies.  Prepared a report for Wilson County detailing the feasibility of an event center.  Provided data for major CEDS revisions.  Assisted 16 cities and counties with zoning and land use maps as part of their planning contracts.

Economic Community Development  Assisted with the creation of an informative and educational presentation titled ‘The ABC’s of Housing Assistance in Tennessee’.  Assisted the Four Lake Regional Industrial Development Authority by preparing a broad outline of necessary steps for the Four Lake to begin the process of developing a port authority at the PowerCom site in Trousdale County .  Continued the Emergency Repair Program that provides home repairs for low income elderly people. For FY 2013 (first year of a two-year grant), $74,095 was spent in six (6) counties for 16 households. All 13 counties in the GNRC region will be served in FY 2014. GNRC assisted with other serves upon request.

Economic Development Administration  Worked with local government officials, industrial recruiters, and industry representatives in planning and packaging applications for financial assistance available from EDA. EDA has limited funds available for infrastructure installation and improvements necessary to support the expansion of industry and creation of new permanent jobs. This work is closely related to the annual CEDS update.  Update the Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy (CEDS) to keep economic development goals, plans and strategies current and to identify areas of both need and opportunity within the regional economy. The CEDS process encourages broad-based citizen input and provides a consensus regarding the vision for the region.  Presidential disaster declarations have made new monies available to Middle Tennessee communities affected by various natural disasters. GNRC secured funding through EDA for five major projects (listed below), including four in Metro Nashville and one in Cheatham County. GNRC continues to partner with EDA on new projects in our region, including applications to benefit the whole State of Tennessee through the Department of Economic and Community Development .

The following EDA funds were acquired as a direct result of our efforts or acquired in concert with grantee partnerships with heavy involvement and/or extensive assistance:

 $1,309,000 in grant money for Conexion Americas (Davidson)  $2,284,916 in grant money or NCVB (Davidson)  $2,500,000 in grant money for NEC (Davidson)  $240,000 in grant money for the Davidson county SOBRO project (Davidson)  $843,000 in grant money in Cheatham County for the purpose of leveraging $12,250,000 private investment, which saved 810 jobs and created 35 new jobs.

Tennessee River Trails Association GNRC staff provided project management for the Tennessee River Trails Association including working with consultants on Gateway Feasibility Study and Portable Display Byway Grants for 9 counties along the Western leg of the Tennessee River. Houston, Humphreys and Stewart Counties in the GNRC region with Henry, Benton, Decatur, Harden, Wayne and Perry Counties and four (4) development districts along with other state and feder- all agencies partnered in this project.

Solid Waste  Provided TDEC with various information regarding area solid waste programs.

Mid-Cumberland Area Development Corporation GNRC continues to provide administrative services to Mid-Cumberland Area Development Corporation, which provides small businesses access to financing using federal and local development loan programs. The main objective of these programs is to encourage small business growth and economic development, while benefiting communities through tax base expansion and job creation as follows:
