If you live in the boundary of Crieve Hall, the question should be
"why would I NOT want to be a member of CHNA and support the activities of the neighborhood where I live?"
Here are few reasons to join that we think would be important to any family. You Have representation with CHNA. In 2004, a small group of neighbors alerted the neighborhood to a Metro plan to build road connectors into our neighborhood. The neighborhood turned out with over 1000 at the meeting opposing that plan. What would have happened if nobody had taken action? Metro would have acted against the will of the people of our neighborhood. It was at that point we realized that we needed an organization to represent the views of our neighborhood. Since 2004, that plan to build road connectors has been proposed and defeated 3 more times. The Crieve Hall Neighborhood Association has represented the will of the people who live here. In October of 2004 soon after we formed CHNA, neighbors became aware of plans by development companies interested in coming into our neighborhood to tear down single family homes to build multiplex housing. Neighbors were opposed to this. The Crieve Hall Neighborhood Association collected nearly 1000 petition signatures and helped to sponsor a bill to re-zone the entire neighborhood to single family homes only. The will of the people was granted in June of 2005 when Metro granted one of the largest re-zoning tracks ever in the history of Nashville. Together we can do BIG things. There is power in being organized.
