Ben York, the authority’s chief executive officer, summarized the agreement as transferring 30 acres of IDA parcels, the 29.5 acres where the authority's office sits, and several contracts and responsibilities previously held by Metro. The contracts to be assigned include the Fallon master development agreement (MDA), the Kimley Horn civil engineering contract, the AECOM boulevard contract, and the HDR program management contract, along with coordination and parking agreements tied to the stadium.

Counsel and staff described additional terms embedded in the MDA that will govern future ground leases, development milestones, affordable‑housing requirements and infrastructure responsibilities. The MDA requires a minimum residential program, including at least 695 income‑restricted units across the development and specific affordable‑housing buildings; it also contains provisions for ground leases, rent appraisal formulas and obligations for property taxes under future ground leases.

Board members asked about funding and schedule. York said the authority is pursuing a mix of funding sources and grant opportunities to stretch available dollars and that schedule and cost allocation for large infrastructure (including portions of the boulevard) remain to be determined. \"That's one of our daily jobs is trying to figure out what needs to be done and then how do we pay for it,\" York said.

The board considered a motion to approve the IGA. A motion to approve was moved and seconded and the chair called for a voice vote. \"All in favor? Aye,\" the record shows; staff reported there were no abstentions and the motion \"prevails.\" The board approved the IGA and, through that vote, authorized assignment of the described contracts and assets to the East Bank Development Authority.

Meeting participants also discussed legal representation. Counsel noted Saul had been engaged specifically to advise on the IGA; board members and staff agreed to meet with Saul and his team to clarify the scope of his engagement moving forward and to return to the board with an update at the next meeting.

Next steps: the authority will receive the assigned contracts and assets, continue discussions on funding and capital plans (Schedule F and other budgets were discussed but several amounts remain to be finalized), and staff and counsel will return to the board with recommendations for ongoing legal representation and additional contract approvals as required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","04/22/25 East Bank Development Authority","oneSentenceSummary","The East Bank Development Authority voted to approve an intergovernmental agreement with Metro that assigns land, employees and key development contracts (Fallon MDA, HDR, AECOM and Kimley Horn) to the authority; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote with no abstentions recorded.","taxTitle","East Bank Development Authority Meetings, Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee","taxId",79647,"location","Tennessee","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6264339,"AECOM advances East Bank Boulevard environmental work; public meeting scheduled at Cross Pointe Church",403,2242000,2645000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096937-0b5228462cc3f743cfb7bebb091d74eb&start=2242&end=2645","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096937-0b5228462cc3f743cfb7bebb091d74eb/thumbnail_2242000.jpg","/articles/6264339/Tennessee/AECOM-advances-East-Bank-Boulevard-environmental-work-public-meeting-scheduled-at-Cross-Pointe-Church","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264339-2cbbd2956a1be78aa8e5c2dd822b0f7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770946045&Signature=Ctp4qsRFarPuugOX5odd-EKgiI8oasdPSiDfKMBWbCc58rsjM1X9FRghRCqM6PIplh2GNji8Y830WSJbvcsjO03kNHYtppT7vG8fTA5ghUyw9ecTGTHXTo1dkuP1r0pxCNIki0QezSovQktslVTV29hxl5W5ZXsqx9tjwCvfO65URkBTt-mU3O25vqkxDt3IQC~c0DCKZ2WyRLR3BNZUHxrSjsfLmAzo-1XFumnEIcTFQbgM~-bTDcywPo3YF97PeQjDwGWilamvBareqtXRzCwyxgjAe8UQsiWztDYHxQazsU6pbTj0jUpZ6k2HqVdKHNtSdVh7YrpyUEbqmBbNIQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ben York, chief executive officer of the East Bank Development Authority, summarized AECOM’s role on the East Bank Boulevard design and environmental documentation and said the project team is moving into a public engagement phase.

York said AECOM was selected in part for its national experience on projects such as light rail and bus rapid transit, and that the boulevard work will emphasize resiliency, connectivity and safety. \"We're building in resiliency,\" York said, noting coordination with the Army Corps of Engineers and Metro Water on revised flood elevation datum and stormwater mitigation.

York and staff described AECOM’s scope as preliminary design, environmental documentation under NEPA, stakeholder involvement and project management. Staff said AECOM’s contract is a two‑year engagement and noted the team aims to have 30% conceptual design documents for the boulevard by summer to position the project for grants and other funding. Counsel noted fee bands and indicated the contract includes a threshold where authority approval would be needed for work beyond a particular fee figure.

Project staff said community engagement will include an in‑person public meeting and an online component. \"The public meeting is on Thursday. It's at Cross Pointe Church just up the street,\" York said; staff added a project webpage and survey will be available via QR code and a web link, with the link to go live before the meeting.

York said the boulevard is intended to be the connective spine through the 550‑acre East Bank area, improving east‑west and north‑south mobility, walking, biking and transit access. Staff emphasized the team’s goal to be shovel‑ready for federal, state and local grant opportunities and potential public‑private partnerships once conceptual design is sufficiently advanced.

Next steps: AECOM will continue environmental scoping, prepare materials for the public meeting and advance 30% conceptual designs this summer; staff will collect feedback at the in‑person meeting and via the project webpage.","Metro and the East Bank Development Authority described AECOM’s role in environmental documentation and preliminary boulevard design; staff said the AECOM contract is two years, roughly $6 million, and public engagement (in-person and online) will begin with a community meeting at Cross Pointe Church this Thursday.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6264345,"HDR to serve as East Bank program manager under an estimated $25 million time‑and‑materials contract",2837,282000,3119000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096937-0b5228462cc3f743cfb7bebb091d74eb&start=282&end=3119","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096937-0b5228462cc3f743cfb7bebb091d74eb/thumbnail_282000.jpg","/articles/6264345/Tennessee/HDR-to-serve-as-East-Bank-program-manager-under-an-estimated-25-million-timeandmaterials-contract","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264345-f34020f89f5a093e07eb43b0a0538280/orig.mp4?Expires=1770946045&Signature=e8~7-z06M-dLsPsbNw8TyZ-IlqOlyKeEyXeVu6nGzqTyJkdGixuA0cHCtalmVo~-qWCGHMICVXdLYo6DcUWpEIMV9mZH6xNs~l9WaPH6K2EJRBhbRqcmTe93Ky~wz5uDh0lqzj7dmf7KnFlJrkeRXhN4H9J5HkoCZlpPV8-oIagR7bvfnJB3s2TCnawyxfBDW2sCOYfAtA6z1xiZTPUM6~WHgNvdSenFjD2IruBrQdxCWYbGZln40Xy7ZwlH~UWL8ftx-~kRNSQTl73u~e8Y9XfSLYtmvEHfFhSeTWq-IlV8yjg2W4uFG4GYXYXCZQV3A3fFj1ofbMFUk5KhjorHYw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jim Czarnecki, HDR’s program manager team lead, told the East Bank Development Authority HDR is acting as an extension of Metro staff to coordinate planning, design oversight, project controls, financial modeling and grant‑seeking across the full East Bank area.

\"We're thrilled to support an effort such as the East Bank and work as an extension of staff for Metro and the authority,\" Czarnecki said, describing a team assembled to respond to planning and construction needs across the full 550 acres of the East Bank vision area.

Czarnecki outlined the team composition and responsibilities: six full‑time HDR staff dedicated to East Bank program management (including a program coordinator, engineering leads and program controls), oversight of design consultants, coordination of infrastructure timing and staging, and assistance securing grants and delivery strategies. HDR’s role includes planning and design review, construction oversight and ensuring consultant deliverables meet code and authority standards.

Metro counsel and staff described the contract’s commercial terms during the meeting: the HDR engagement is estimated at $25,000,000, billed on a time‑and‑materials basis with detailed rates, and the contract timeline and funding are planned on a year‑to‑year basis. The agreement makes clear HDR is not the general contractor, and Metro retains the ability to terminate the contract for convenience — with a 30‑day notice provision.

Board members asked about the scope and oversight. Staff emphasized HDR’s role to avoid overburdening Metro agencies and to accelerate delivery of coordinated plans to Metro reviewers. The authority will review HDR deliverables and approve significant contract steps as required by the intergovernmental agreement translating contracts to the authority.

Next steps: HDR will continue planning, advance 30% design for boulevard elements this summer, coordinate stormwater and resiliency requirements with Metro Water and the Army Corps of Engineers, and support procurement and coordination across authority projects.","At the East Bank Development Authority meeting, HDR’s program manager team lead, Jim Czarnecki, described HDR’s role overseeing planning, design, financial modeling and grant support across the full East Bank area; Metro counsel and staff said the contract is estimated at $25,000,000, billed time‑and‑materials and terminable on 30 days’ notice.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6264349,"Fallon Company lays out first-phase plans for East Bank parcels, pledges 300–325 affordable units",652,814000,1466000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3096937-0b5228462cc3f743cfb7bebb091d74eb&start=814&end=1466","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3096937-0b5228462cc3f743cfb7bebb091d74eb/thumbnail_814000.jpg","/articles/6264349/Tennessee/Fallon-Company-lays-out-first-phase-plans-for-East-Bank-parcels-pledges-300325-affordable-units","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6264349-67fe900c1681b77c1220fc1353579c54/orig.mp4?Expires=1770946045&Signature=R-gFNQNg~CzNG-qwI9PbwHNvfUV0knZajLqbtc53K9ASabbjlGVFpGtuOHi3s~pcXifOmcpVUqlXstEXhebyLQusJbx5HzWL2ND~tEYK1eyxOV34LBZAi~cOnFv-hVGOmRL3EESxlEJrMGAO~REXzmo1a44inf7Vy1uD6w99Db~QhLBorAWc4RqBqiUA5YrhRCJvWd1OzX34crZDfsYomh9AMLVI47LIi4rThmM~72mUGUTwTfwExnD0CZpLrZV5TLES2U90avrDNc5yG3fTxZYt8CqyN8vy~WkqvWfh-B8DGSKc5PZtanfX5SiV7g5gPesFicwUjU8iSQCEIZeJwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sean Seaman, chief development officer for the Fallon Company, updated the East Bank Development Authority on the developer’s plans for the first phase of the East Bank master development, identifying Blocks C and G as the initial focus and describing housing, retail and timing for the work.

Seaman said the developer’s 30-acre portion of the project will concentrate first on Block C and Block G, with Block C divided into C1 (a full-service hotel) and C2 (a multifamily building) and G1 designated as a dedicated affordable housing building. \"The first phase will include 325 in the dedicated affordable building. That's G1 — 300 to 325,\" Seaman said, describing the affordable building’s size. He also said C2 would include a 10% affordable set‑aside within the market-rate building.

The developer identified affordability levels and other program elements. Seaman said the dedicated affordable building is planned for households at 60% area median income (AMI), and the market-rate building will include 10% of units at 60–80% AMI. He also said there will be ground-floor retail on G1, including a day care, and the team is targeting neighborhood-serving uses such as grocer, drugstore and day‑care operators along Shelby Avenue.

Seaman described the near-term schedule and procurement steps. He said Fallon issued requests for proposals to architects and expected to interview candidates within a month; design and architect selection work is expected to occur over the next nine to 12 months. \"The anticipation is that we would begin construction mid to late 2026,\" he said, adding that the team is targeting delivery of the first parcels by the end of 2028 or very early 2029, with construction windows of roughly 24–30 months depending on the use.

On local hiring and contracting, Seaman said the firm has a target that 25% of design and construction participation be from small, women‑ and minority‑owned businesses, with a preference for local Nashville firms. He said RFPs have been issued to about 12 firms, many of which include local offices or local co‑leads.

Board members pressed on affordability and operations. One board member noted current AMI levels and said 60% AMI may not serve the lowest‑income community members; Seaman responded that operators for the day care have not been selected yet and that the team intends to discuss operating models, including sliding-scale options, with prospective operators.

Seaman also said the developer expects to coordinate on parking and interim uses for parcels that will not be immediately developed, noting obligations to the Titans for event-day parking and interest in short-term activations to avoid long-term fenced or vacant lots.

Seaman said Fallon is continuing coordination with Metro staff and the authority on approvals, architect selections and the design of the public realm. He said the public‑realm framework plan recently adopted by the downtown code design review committee set the look and character for sidewalks, plantings and elevated walk connections such as the \"Music City Mile\" and the \"Cumberland Walk.\"

Next steps: the Fallon team will complete architect interviews and selections, begin schematic design for Blocks C and G, and continue coordinating with East Bank staff and Metro agencies on permitting, infrastructure and community connections.","At an East Bank Development Authority meeting, Fallon Company Chief Development Officer Sean Seaman described plans for Blocks C and G, including a dedicated affordable building of about 300–325 units, 10% affordable units in a market-rate building, ground-floor retail and a day care, and a mid‑to‑late 2026 construction start for phase 1.","actionData","errors"]
