When a 'real-estate deal' gets to $4.2 billion and 1,500 acres, and promises to turn land into offices for more than 40,000 workers over 15 years, while adding more than 900 acres to Nashville's greenlands...at that point, it's more than a "deal" -- it becomes a microeconomy called May Town Center, the proposed development at Bells Bend. And, when the debate over the development shines a rude light on urban Nashville's propensity for losing headquarters to the city's suburbs, it becomes a focal-point for entrepreneurs, researchers and others looking to congregate. Fortunately, while the land debate rages on, there's another effort afoot to help support new ventures and bring entrepreneurs together. For our take on it, please click here.
