Country musicians sure know how to take care of each other!
After more than a decade of planning and budgeting, the Nashville music industry is set to build a $95 million senior living community.
The area will be targeted to retirees from the music industry.
As of right now, it’s set to open in 2013 in Franklin, Tennessee and will be called The Crescendo At Westhaven.
The complex will feature apartments ranging from $300-$650k and will even include financial assistance for those who are eligible.
Them some damn fancy apartments!
Country singer Martina McBride is supporting the project.
McBride says, “I do think that it’s gonna be the first of its kind. It places great importance on keeping people who live here involved with Music Row and feeling like they’re still involved in the music industry with things like songwriting workshops to a place to be able to perform if they want to a recording studio where they can still record music.”
She adds, “It’s just very unique, and I think it really will fit the needs of so many people who have been involved in the music industry in such a special way.”
As for the community, it is being modeled after a similar retirement village here in the Woodland Hills area of Los Angeles, which is overseen bythe Motion Picture Television Fund.
Let’s hope these people can even afford those housing prices by the time they retire. The way our shitty economy is going!
