Dr. Faison co-leads the imagine nashville project
After 14 months of extraordinary collaboration and conversations, the final report of Imagine Nashville was released to the public in a press conference with Nashville Mayor Freddie O’Connell. Dr. Faison, along with Dr. Alex Jahangir and Renata Soto, led the Imagine Nashville effort: a yearlong, community-led initiative to help develop a bold and inclusive vision for the city of Nashville.
Imagine Nashville engaged over 10,000 residents from all 526 square miles of Davidson County to identify shared values and create a vision for Nashville based on those values. The initiative reached across geographic, socioeconomic, racial and ethnic lines, and age differences to ensure everyone has a voice in forming a lasting and powerful road map for the future of our city.
