‘WE’VE GOT THE SCALE PRETTY GOOD RIGHT NOW’ T Bone Burnett talks about the inspiration for Cloud Hill and how South Nashville can be a hub for much of the city
n May, Metro officials chose Cloud Hill Partnership — a group comprising developer Bert Mathews, investment banker Tom Middleton and legendary musician and producer T Bone Burnett — to redevelop the former Greer Stadium site near Fort Negley. The Cloud Hill team has proposed a mix of creative spaces, residential units and retailers while converting Greer’s playing field into public green space. Burnett and Middleton sat down with Post Editor Geert De Lombaerde mid-summer, before public opposition to their project began to grow in volume. Here are some edited excerpts from that conversation.
