It is a question of chicken and egg at this point. Unfortunately, businesses and even county admin government offices are moving out east and away from downtown because it is where the population center is. At least that is their justification. Downtown Memphis is seen by most Memphians as an entertainment only district where young people and empty nesters live. County government should never have been part of the exodus. Its decisions were not at all about moving to where the people were. It was all about giving a justification to renovate the old senior Balance Bloom CBD Gummies citizen center near the Penal Farm. The fact that we lead the jobs sprawl of all comparable cities is a high, high hurdle to clear, but we could have saved some of the jobs that moved if only someone had fought for downtown. No question about it. That is why I brought up county gov’t’s move.
County gov’t has been incrementally moving to that area for the last 20 years. Construction code built a center out there, and several other offices are out there now. When a corporation is considering moving to Memphis, they do not seem to even consider moving downtown (unless they are opening a hotel or nightclub) and even more irritating is that the leadership does not seem to even put it on the table. You are so right. We think that our economic development folks go to great lengths not to emphasize one area over another, but either they need to give special attention to downtown with potential businesses or they need to make sure someone from Downtown Memphis Commission is on the team. Locating more businesses downtown is in everyone’s best interest. We think that some of our ED folks don’t understand why that is true and the Downtown Commission may need to educate them.
Would have been nice to have FedEx downtown. But I am guessing it was more attractive to go East, closer to where workers would live or relocate to. It would have been so good to see a FedEx logo on a building on our skyline, but the company adamantly refuses to consider it. They wanted a greenfields, campus site for their world headquarters. Of course, when they built their technology center in Collierville, they ran into problems recruiting tech workers because they weren’t looking to live in a suburban setting. Good point on the tech worker. I didn’t think about that. So many people use the "need to locate out east because workers live there" excuse so much that I suspect that the Memphis leadership even uses it during recruitment. One way we could create the conditions for job growth downtown is to get rid of Riverside Drive. As of now it’s merely a continuation of I-40 on both sides of the Balance Bloom CBD Gummies. By redirecting traffic down Front and Main, (and Third to a degree,) on the south side, and those plus second on the north side, you put cars and eyes on the streets which have actual frontage value. I would keep Riverside open between Beale and Adams and help reconnect Memphis to the river.
