Panel discussion about proposed new convention center is May 31
Posted 5/26/2009
Veteran political analyst Pat Nolan, host of Inside Politics for News Channel 5+, will moderate. It is free and open to the public.
The purpose of the event is to give the community an opportunity to hear divergent viewpoints on the proposed convention center and to foster a dialogue on the merits of the project.
Sanders has studied the issue of building projects as civic investments in more than 30 cities over the past 15 years. Spyridon has led Nashville’s $4.0 billion hospitality industry since 1991 as well as a branding initiative to broaden the image of Nashville as Music City.
Vice Mayor Diane Neighbors and Metro Council At-Large members Megan Barry, Tim Garrett, Jerry Maynard, Ronnie Steine, and Charlie Tygard are working together to convene this in-depth public discussion about the Music City Center project.
The event will take place 2-4 pm, Sunday, May 31 at Steve and Judy Turner Recital Hall at the Blair School of Music at Vanderbilt University, 2400 Blakemore Avenue. Free parking will be provided at the South Parking garage located at the northeast corner of 24th Avenue South and Children’s Way.
The panel is also sponsored by several district members of Metro Council, including Lonnell Matthews, Jr., Walter Hunt, Michael Craddock, Mike Jameson, Erik Cole, Karen Bennett, Anna Page, Sandra Moore, Kristine LaLonde, Erica Gilmore, Emily Evans and Duane Dominy. Organizations sponsoring the event include Vanderbilt University, Metro Channel 3, Davidson County Young Democrats, Nashville Women’s Political Caucus, The Tennessean, the Nashville City Paper, the Nashville Scene, and Liberadio(!) with Mary Mancini & Freddie O'Connell.
