ABOUT THE REGIONAL COUNCIL
The Greater Nashville Regional Council (GNRC or Regional Council) is a public agency initially created by the Tennessee General Assembly through the Development District Act of 1965 and further empowered in 1988 by Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 64, Chapter 7. Its purpose is to convene local and state leaders to cooperatively plan and prioritize state and federal investments into public infrastructure and a range of social services, and to provide technical assistance and staffing support to local governments and partnering state agencies to advance important community development projects. GNRC is co-owned by the municipal and county governments across Cheatham, Davidson, Dickson, Houston, Humphreys, Montgomery, Robertson, Rutherford, Stewart, Sumner, Trousdale, Williamson, and Wilson counties.
Our Mission
The Greater Nashville Regional Council assists local communities and state agencies in developing plans and programs that guide growth and development in the most desirable, efficient, and cost-effective manner while ensuring the continued long-term livability of the region. In carrying out this mission, GNRC convenes elected officials and local practitioners to brainstorm strategies for improving quality of life, facilitates cooperative policymaking to prioritize state and federal investments into area social services and public infrastructure, and provides a public forum for Middle Tennesseans to shape regional decisions.
