Goodlettsville, Nashville approve financial incentives for RiverGate redevelopment

The city of Goodlettsville and Goodlettsville Industrial Development Board have approved economic incentives to bolster the RiverGate Mall Redevelopment Project, echoing similar approvals granted by the Nashville City Council and Nashville Industrial Development Board. Merus, Inc., (formerly Al Neyer) is leading the redevelopment, which will result in a mixed-use community with residential, retail, entertainment, medical and other uses. Most of the existing mall will be demolished with only the Dillard’s department store remaining. Approximately 33% of the mall building lies within the city limits of Goodlettsville, but the redevelopment will place between 65-70% in the city, increasing economic benefits to the city. Demolition begins this summer with a phased approach to construction.
