The man in charge of the Metropolitan Development and Housing Agency says it’s time to step down. Phil Ryan has worked for the office for more than two decades, serving as director for roughly half that time.
He’s overseen riverfront development, acquired land for the new convention center and directed renovations and rebuilding efforts in most of Nashville’s public housing developments.
In a statement, Ryan says it’s time to “pursue other career opportunities.”
More rom the MDHA release:
“I am fortunate to have worked with the dedicated and proud MDHA team for more than two decades. Our focus has been on serving the more than 28,000 residents we house, on sustainable downtown and on neighborhood redevelopment. I’ve given my all to the job, seven days a week, and after much thought, I feel now is a good time for me to pursue other career opportunities.”
