On July 11-12, 2016, in Nashville, TN, USDOT officials assisted by CNU experts hosted the second #EveryPlaceCounts workshop to generate a vision for improving community health, mobility, and opportunity. This workshop's focus, according to the City of Nashville:
"Nashville’s I-40 was built through several predominantly African American, middle class neighborhoods in the 1960s, displacing residents and dividing a thriving community. Nashville plans to utilize well-established community partnership networks, gather input from community residents and business owners, host design sessions, synthesize ideas, post the results of the design sessions, and pursue implementation funds through its two-day design session."

9:00am–5:00pm | July 11-12, 2016
