Who just saw yesterdays news bridgestones 700 jobs are going to a 41 acre site in Rutherford co or stay in Ohio. Davidsons co site was rejected. 700 jobs averaging 60k, about 10 million in yearly taxes lost by Davidson co. Last year 20 million when Nissan located to Williamson co. Nashville did not have a campus to show Nissan. As much as i love the Fairgrounds this is not where corporation want to relocate. The purpose of May center is to provide campuses for corporation. If we do not have maycenter we will continue to lose our tax base to all the surrounding counties. Any corporation that wants an urban building will go to downtown Nashville. Notice how many have come vs the 9 million square feet of corporate offices that have happened in the last 10 years.in Williamson co.(which is urban sprawl and the destruction of true farm land. I notice that there are hundred of properties of 10 to 100 acres in bells bend, but only 2 or 3 farms. If all the people in the Bells Bend area are so into organic farming why are they not doing it on the other thousands of acres out there that is not maycenter. Someone else already posted that this farming issue is a smoke screen to oppose.....not in my back yard.
