On December 25, 2020, a bomb inside an RV was detonated on 2nd Ave N between Commerce and Church St in Downtown Nashville destroying several buildings and damaging 65 structures within its radius. While we may never recover our historic buildings on the East side of the block, there has been significant request from the community to restore much of what we lost while also revitalizing the area to be better than ever before. The Civic Design Center partnered with Metro Nashville Planning Department, GHP—project manager for the recovery and rebuilding efforts—the Mayor’s Office, key metro departments, and the Nashville community to create a vision for the future of the 2nd Avenue area. The overarching project goal is to maintain the historic character of the buildings and streets while redesigning the streetscape to create a bustling pedestrian center. Here are some photos of what it look like so far!
