NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It’s an exciting time for Music City! After a year and a bit of solid work and research, the Imagine Nashville team has unveiled a clear and actionable plan that captures the hopes and dreams of our vibrant community. This initiative is all about listening to the voice of Nashvillians and creating a shared vision for our future.
Imagine Nashville reached out to more than 10,000 residents across Davidson County, gathering feedback from every neighborhood and zip code. The diverse range of voices has provided invaluable insight into what makes Nashville so special. The results? Well, they shed light on both the positives and negatives of living in our beloved city.
From the survey results, it’s clear that Nashvillians take great pride in several aspects of our city. The top five positives that residents appreciate include:
However, no city is without its challenges. The survey also highlighted the top five concerns that residents believe need addressing:
Based on insights from the survey, Imagine Nashville has set four main priorities to guide future actions:
Dr. Alex Jahangir, co-chair of the initiative, expressed optimism about the path ahead. He mentioned that their recommendations are now being considered by the Metro Nashville Mayor’s Office and the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee. “I’m confident in their leadership and commitment to seeing this vision through,” he stated.
Moreover, the plan involves establishing community implementation teams to foster public-private partnerships and develop multi-year action plans. Regular check-ins will also take place to monitor progress along the way—keeping the community informed and engaged!
This latest initiative follows the footsteps of a similar effort from 30 years ago known as “21 Goals for the 21st Century.” This past initiative paved the way for Nashville’s greenways, the Frist Art Museum, and even the establishment of our professional sports teams. Dr. Jahangir recalls being inspired by that earlier movement and hopes Imagine Nashville will spark the same enthusiasm for future generations.
As Imagine Nashville sets the stage for what’s to come, it aims to not only encourage residents to stay and contribute to Music City’s legacy but also motivate those who have moved away to think about returning.
Nashville’s journey together is just beginning. Who knows what wonderful things lie ahead as we collectively pave the way for our beloved Music City’s future!
