Climbing the Charts with Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller

"I came to realize that I would never have the chance to work in an administration with somebody that I [am] so closely aligned with on issues. It makes it really easy to go to work.” – Bob Mendes, speaking of his working relationship with Mayor O'Connell

Climbing the Charts was excited to sit down with Bob Mendes, Chief Development Officer for the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, to learn about the future of Nashville’s East Bank, the series of events and negotiations that paved the way for a new, $2.1+ billion dollar Titans stadium, as well as other challenges and opportunities Music City’s new development director sees in his crystal ball.

And while the East Bank is one of the largest projects ever undertaken by a city, Bob wants Nashvillians to know that though he will dedicate time to the East Bank project, his focus is on development in and for Nashville as a whole.
