“This is the price of growth.”
Gary Garfield, the CEO of Bridgestone Americas, summed up Nashville’s transportation quandary in six simple words Tuesday afternoon. It’s perhaps the most succinct statement I’ve heard anyone in the business community make on the topic.
Garfield, whose own company is contributing to that growth with a new 1,600-job headquarters downtown, is chairing a new transit initiative, spearheaded by the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce. Transportation has been among the key issues in this mayoral election. From a business and economic development perspective, it boils down to competition — either in the form of workers choosing to move to Nashville or companies investing millions in new regional offices or headquarters.
