Crafton ready to impede progress, as usual
I’m surprised it took this long. Anytime there’s any hint that progress is being made, here comes Council Member Eric Crafton to save the day. I have no issue with either auto racing or state fairs, and I’m happy to see Nashville find a more suitable home for either or both activities within Davidson County (or elsewhere if need be).
In my opinion, there are better uses for the existing fairgrounds property, and I hope the city moves in a direction that will fulfill one or more of them. I think a public park, a mixed-use development, a corporate relocation campus or a film production site would all be better uses of that land. It’s past time for the fairgrounds and the speedway to go.
