Fiscal year 2018 resulted in strong development throughout the CBID. The DMC’s investment in catalytic projects like The Bakery in the Edge District and the completion of game-changers like ServiceMaster headquarters and the Tennessee Brewery were flanked by our support of multiple smaller, yet equally important adaptive reuse and new construction projects. The DMC also continued working to remediate blight with a big win at the former Benchmark Hotel site (corner of Union and B.B. King). And we continued our retail incubation strategy, hosting 20+ retail pop-ups across 6 Open on Main locations, as well as supporting a stand-alone pop-up space to welcome Harley-Davidson into Downtown.
