The Titans' part in transforming Nashville's East Bank

Meanwhile: Broader plans to bring more residential and retail options are underway.

• City officials announced plans for a new north-south boulevard along the riverfront. Fanta said the road would be the backbone of future redevelopment efforts.
• Earlier this month, city planners unveiled their vision for the underdeveloped area, which included new parks, housing and a greenway.

The big picture: The Nashville Sounds stadium in Germantown is surrounded by a robust network of housing, restaurants and retail.

• The Titans' negotiations, along with the impending arrival of Oracle, put the largely industrial East Bank on the verge of a major turning point.

Worth noting: A coalition of activists is urging the city to slow down its plans, saying the process has not been transparent or open to community input.
