The Academy of Country Music, which launched in Los Angeles in 1964, has long been a West Coast-based music trade organization, originally founded as a way of promoting country music in the western United States. Now, the Encino, Calif.-based organization is taking another step in strengthening its ties to Music City.
The organization has signed a lease at Nashville Warehouse Co., located in Nashville’s Wedgewood Houston area. The Nashville Warehouse Company was developed by AJ Capital Partners and offers 200,000 square feet of office space.
