Dedication of the Charlie Cardwell Memorial Garden and the Charlie Cardwell Conference Room

Mayor John Cooper and the family of the late Charlie Cardwell will join Assessor Vivian Wilhoite, Metro Clerk Brenda Wynn, Trustee Erica Gilmore, Former Trustee Parker Toler, Metro Council Member Freddie O’Connell and former staffers for late Metro Trustee Charlie Cardwell in dedicating a memorial garden and conference room to Mr. Cardwell, the longtime Metro official who served the City of Nashville for more than 60 years. The memorial garden is located at the Howard Office Building, which Mr. Cardwell attended as a student when it was formerly a public school and where he served as trustee after the office moved from its Second Avenue location. Prior to Mr. Cardwell’s service as the elected trustee, he served as Metro Nashville’s finance director and deputy mayor making him Nashville’s “longest serving city employee.” Mr. Cardwell also served as the State of Tennessee’s commissioner of revenue under Governor Ned McWherter.

This event will take place in the area adjacent to the Howard Office Building.

Attendees are asked to park in the Nashville Children's Theater parking lot at 25 Middleton Street.
