Development is taking shape all over Memphis, but we have to be intentional if we want it to look different.
The Memphis and Shelby County CRA has recently launched their Essential Housing program that is supporting local developers like Billy Irby in North Memphis, Smokey City! Billy Irby
Billy is currently building on two parcels with the support of organizations and funding sources that have committed to being intentional to help build LOCAL and minority wealth. I’m glad to support organizations such as the CRA that is making small dreams have a big impact!
