The Hillsboro-West End Neighborhood Association is recommending Vanderbilt University consider multiple suggestions for its proposed 43-acre multi-building mixed-use Innovation District.
According to a release, the recommendations include Vanderbilt being open to committing to reduce the heights of future buildings and to reduce the overall scale of development, especially for future structures to be sited in the two subdistricts located within the closest proximity to the neighborhood.
