Nashville's Tourist Development Zones

This discussion topic was requested by Council Member Courtney Johnston, relative to tourist development zones as described in RS2026-2135 and BL2026-1493. The topic links to a multi-page article that explains TDZs and the related legislation in further detail.


Major financial proposals can involve dozens of legal documents, bond agreements and technical terms. This article is intended to explain the proposal in plain English — not to persuade, but to explain exactly what the TDZ is and what changes Metro is discussing enacting given the State’s authority to do so.
