The 901: How a Tom Lee Park revamp could transform Downtown Memphis Ryan Poe, Memphis Commercial Appeal
Good Thursday morning from Memphis, which is getting some unseasonably warm weather today. This morning, we re looking at Christian Brothers University s expansion plans and at how South Memphis residents could buy back the block. But first.
After a post-mediation redesign, the long-awaited $60 million redevelopment of the Downtown Memphis park overlooking the Mississippi River is finally underway.
Marking the start of what could be a more than two-year redevelopment of Tom Lee Park, Memphis Mayor Jim Strickland broke ground on the project yesterday at Cutbank Bluff, our Corinne Kennedy reports. The bluff will be redesigned as a gateway connecting the park with South Main, with a walkway stretching across Riverside Drive and crisscrossing up the bluff to Vance Avenue, near Old Dominick Distillery.
