WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County has entered into a Cooperation Agreement with the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency for support of up to two hundred (200) units of housing, being authorized to do so by Resolution No. R-92-288 adopted by the Metropolitan Council on June 16, 1992; and

WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency proposes to build nineteen (19) units of housing primarily as duplexes to be located on Agency owned property in the vicinity of the Preston Taylor Hope VI Redevelopment Project in Nashville; and
