READY FOR FREDDIE

I spent five of my more than ten years in Salemtown as president of the Salemtown Neighbors Neighborhood Association, where we established important partnerships with the Metro Action Commission, Nashville Rescue Mission's women's campus, Buena Vista Enhanced Option Elementary, and MDHA's Cheatham Place. In 2013, we secured historic status for the Fehr School building and had a community-led dedication ceremony attended by civil rights and public education leaders. We also completed a neighborhood conservation overlay district around Nashville's largest remaining turn-of-the-century workforce housing. We have been proud sponsors of the Nashville Neighborhoods Celebration at the Neighborhoods Resource Center. As a member of the North Nashville Leadership Council, I was one of the organizers of the North Nashville Political Forum. I also worked on the Capitol District project that was successful in advocating for the Sulphur Dell location for the new Sounds ballpark.
