Nashville - Davidson County, TN
Nashville Metro Planning commissioned Urban3 to perform countywide revenue analysis as a part of the NashvilleNext comprehensive plan process. This study provided a unique opportunity to analyze both a large metropolitan area and development on a neighborhood scale. In this study, Urban3 measured both property tax and retail tax productivity of land-use development patterns across Davidson County.
As a joint county-city government, Davidson County-Nashville has developed with a dualistic approach to planning -- addressing local needs while understanding the broader context. Urban3 found that while fringe commercial areas did produce significant retail taxes, Downtown Nashville generated more than 18% of retail taxes for Davidson County on less than 1% of its land area. Aside from retail tax production, infill redevelopment along infrastructure corridors was of particular focus. Urban3 found massively efficient value density in pockets of infill redevelopment.
