A local, historic preservationist nonprofit announced Wednesday that Amazon will invest $50,000 in downtown Nashville’s Church Street Park as part of a revitalization project.

The Historic Capitol Corridor Foundation, established in 2019, originally initiated revitalization efforts at the beginning of the quarantine last year with a $465,000 contribution to the Metro Parks and Recreation Department to launch a six-week pilot project over the summer. The initiative has been approved to proceed with aesthetic improvements, maintenance, programming and security, which are the focal points of Amazon’s funding.
