New dates for demolition, reconstruction of Fort Nashborough
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Metro Nashville Parks’ officials say the aging Fort Nashborough historical site along the riverfront will likely be demolished this summer and rebuilt in 2016 or 2017.
The Tennessean (http://tnne.ws/1yLX8eX) reports the $1 million project was originally slated to begin last year and be completed sometime this year.
Metro Parks and Recreation Director Tommy Lynch says the initiative is being folded into Mayor Karl Dean’s $100 million proposal for a flood wall and protection plan.
He said work on the flood mitigation plan would delay reconstruction
The Fort Nashborough site is a representation of a fort built by early settlers to Nashville and has been a destination for students in Middle Tennessee.
