On February 14, 2023, the Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) declared the properties at 648 Colice Jeanne Road, known locally as the old Bellevue Library and Fire Station, surplus, turning it over to the Metro Government.
This property encompasses a 12,000-square-foot building on 1.7 acres of land, situated between Fire Station 37 and Bellevue Middle School’s fields. To the north of the site lies Highway 70, while Old Harding Pike runs to the south.
Previously, the upper building was the Bellevue Library until 2015, and the lower building served as the Bellevue Fire Station until 2020.
About the Study
Metro Nashville Planning will work with other Metro departments to review site needs and work with the public to further identify how these sites could support community needs. This includes reviewing master plans, capital improvement requests close to the site, and conducting a market analysis.
Metro will hire a consulting team to conduct an in-depth feasibility study of the Colice Jeanne Boulevard site. This study will also assess the potential repurposing of the existing building and explore various uses for the surrounding land. As with all Planning studies, the staff aims to incorporate all stakeholder and community input cohesively.
Community Drop-Ins
On October 5, 2023, Planning staff hosted a drop-in meeting to review potential uses for the site.
