Through August, Tennessee recorded a slight decrease in the number of new coronavirus cases. Consequently, Nashville Mayor John Cooper eased some restrictions related to capacity and gatherings limitations towards the end of the month. Additionally, in an effort to help struggling residents, the metro’s council unanimously approved a $10 million rental assistance program. The market’s multifamily sector continued on a slow but steady recovery path: While transaction volumes nearly halted when the pandemic hit the U.S., things are starting to pick up, with a couple of large deals being closed in August. Here’s our selection of August Nashville must-reads:
