Legislation paving the way for the Republican National Convention (RNC) in 2024 is scheduled to be reconsidered at the Nashville Metro Council’s next meeting on Aug. 2, Nashville Post reports. Metro Councilmember Robert Swope, one of the body’s few Republicans, has introduced another draft agreement between the RNC and Nashville after the first effort was stymied. This time, Swope has a second resolution to open dialogue with state officials on allowing Metro to impose development impact fees, which could be used to fund schools, infrastructure and other city costs. Axios Nashville also reports that other possible enticements are on the table, including enhanced zoning authority, expanded Medicaid and increased funding for Nashville schools.
