Memphis 3.0 Comprehensive Plan created a vision for growth in the city of Memphis. Aligned with the plan, Accelerate Memphis provided the funding and strategy necessary to build out that vision. With a total commitment of $200 million by the City of Memphis to the initiative, funding priorities for Accelerate Memphis cover three key areas: Activating Memphis 3.0, Improving Our Parks, and Revitalizing Citywide Assets.
The improvements at Gaisman Park, in particular, represent a $11.5 million investment in a well-loved neighborhood greenspace, serving as early demonstration for the overall vision for the investment.
A reception with event speakers + leads will follow the tour.
