Fall Road Trips: Get Off the Grid in Highlands, N.C.

from City Cast Nashville Hosted by City Cast

We’re learning more about the companies behind DriveTN, the consortium tapped to build controversial toll roads between here and Murfreesboro, and at least one state legislator wants to know why we can’t keep the profits here at home. Host Rachel Iacovone and executive producer Whitney Pastorek are digging into that on today’s Tuesday News Roundup. Plus, Cheekwood won the first battle in their big parking garage fight, and new corporations are eyeing a move to Nashville — just as 120 Starbucks employees said no to that move. And in good news: Could a beloved music festival be coming back?
