Summary of TOSC assistance

TAB has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Douglass, Bungalow and Crump Neighborhood Association to provide assistance to the Association's efforts to identify and redevelop brownfield properties on the north side of Memphis. During a trip to Memphis in May 2000, TAB met with the Executive Director of the Association and visited several properties the community is interested in redeveloping. These sites included a former meatpacking plant and drum recycling company. Following this visit, TAB prepared a short fact sheet on environmental problems associated with these sites. Currently, the Division of Housing and Development and the Tennessee Conservation and Environment Health Department have signed on to explore redevelopment options on some of the subject properties.
