The DISTRICT The DISTRICT and the Metro Historical Commission Foundation are partnering to raise money for immediate needs in preserving the Second Avenue buildings damaged in the Christmas Day bombing. Those needs may include: Obtaining independent structural assessments of buildings Salvaging and storing building materials to be used in rebuilding Making emergency repairs to facades Assisting owners with stabilizing buildings. While insurance may cover and reimburse these expenses, our goal is to have funds available quickly to prevent further loss. Once immediate needs are covered, we anticipate raising funds to bring back this special place in Nashville’s history and its life today. This is an initiative that will take years and millions of dollars. 2ndavestrong.com |
