Metro Council

The Metro Council conducts a meeting on Aug. 5, 2025.

More than 100 Nashvillians packed the Metro Courthouse Tuesday night to give their feedback on Mayor Freddie O’Connell’s proposed $3.8 billion budget for fiscal year 2027.

Among the long lists of requests made during the annual public hearing — which stretched on for nearly four hours — one topic reigned as a top priority for many citizens of Davidson County: affordable housing.
