Support for Nashville's new convention center project is quickly growing. This week, the Tennessee Titans announced their support for the $1 Billion project, but the controversial takeover of downtown property is becoming unpleasant for local business owners.  The city is trying to strike a deal with 14 local businesses that will have to move. Newschannel 5 reports the Musicians Hall of Fame owners feel they're getting a raw deal.The popular tourist attraction rejected the city's offer to relocate, claiming the money wasn't enough. Other businesses call it the "Music City takeover" and say it's a slap in the face to the people who built the city's reputation.
