The City Council authorized the mayor to execute an amendment to the agreement with the State of Tennessee Department of Transportation, increasing project funding for the First Creek Greenway Broadway Streetscape by $1,653,716 to bring the total project amount to $6,225,098.
Under the amended agreement, the city—s share is $1,245,019.60. Council members noted the state is providing roughly 80% of the project cost and praised the partnership.
Council member Thomas emphasized the return on the city—s investment: "for the bang for the buck that the city's contributing, the amenities here, I think, are well worth it," he said. Director Clabo told the council the project is in the right-of-way phase and said construction is expected in the summer of 2026.
The council approved the amendment on a voice vote.
