Why Nashville Should Rethink Its Multi-Billion Dollar East Bank Redevelopment Plan

The tech company Oracle has agreed to take on $175 million worth of infrastructure development in return for substantial tax breaks. However impressive that number may sound, it's only pennies compared to the full price of the project.

The NFL and Tennessee Titans have also pledged to pay roughly $840 million to help cover the cost of a new stadium. While this is admittedly a good chunk of change, that still leaves well over a billion dollars to Nashville and the state of Tennessee.
