"This team will be mission-focused on crime, community, and creating a stronger Memphis - our priorities will be defined by our city s needs," said Mayor-Elect Paul Young.
Plans for a $10 million facelift for the historic Melrose High School in Orange Mound are still in their infancy, but city officials and architects gave more details about the proposed redevelopment of the long-vacant building in a Zoom meeting Thursday.
Over the course of the next two years, the building will be converted into a library and genealogy center with apartments for seniors on the upper floors.
Paul Young, director of the city’s division of housing and community development, said the redevelopment would breathe life back into one of the central institutions in one of Memphis’ most storied districts.
