900 Downtown Jobs to Nashville

[Guest]

I think it is the much heralded Lockheed Martin - MONAX project.

Story on Tennessean

Any other thoughts?

The 8 other posts resulted from an Urban Planet system error (I pressed post 1 time) .... I was unable to delete them once they posted.

It will be nice if we see a Lockheed Martin sign on the side of a building!

Maybe this AND Lockheed Martin...

P2 I hope you are correct .... this looks to be IQT (a call center)

why old they pay the premium for downtown space? I would just locate in Lavergne and save a butt load of mobbed.

It's the demographic of their workers. they are far more likely to want to live and work in the downtown/urban area than Lavergne. They don't rely on cars or need the backyards as much as some folks do!

Very cool.

This is huge for downtown Nashville.. especially with the company working 24/7.

Uh-oh, apparently this fell apart and isn't going to happen, well is on hold.

I don't think "hold" is the right word.

Dead is more like it, and better it die now than in an financially awkward future moment.

[timmay143]

Oh yeah, definitely dead. Just using the wording in the article. I'm glad as well that no money was dealt out to this company.
