Friends,

Hello, my name is Peter Westerholm thank you for stopping by and visiting my website. To my supporters and friends, I welcome you back.

When you think of the neighborhoods of East Nashville and downtown, words like historic, exciting, diverse, and artistic often come to mind. From quirky old bungalows to cutting edge, mixed use condos, our neighborhoods offer a high quality of life for residents of all backgrounds; and it should continue to do so.

What lies ahead for our city, in both its urban core and its urban neighborhood, are changing dynamics that affect us all. Our city is facing many challenges: a rapidly developing downtown neighborhood, the safety of our families, the education of our children, the new convention center, and the riverfront development to name a few. Residents, business owners, associations, and Metro Government all have a stake in and a responsibility to ensure Nashville continues to attract investment and tourism.

The greatest challenge is simply this: as the urban core grows, how do we protect and enhance the quality of life of residents and businesses?

Becoming active in our community, volunteering to local organizations, taking care of ourselves and our neighborhoods are just a few ways we all can make a difference. I ask for you all to join me in facing these challenges as we grow in a smart, sustainable, friendly way.

Thanks,

Peter
