The first goal of the Uptown Community Plan (which was created by and for residents and stakeholders) is: “Create fully occupied residential neighborhoods with a mix of incomes and ages, while preserving single-family homes, in which people share a sense of belonging.” This 2026 issue of the Beacon puts a spotlight on what the CRA and the community are doing to make sure this goal is fully implemented.
The CRA envisions every neighborhood in the City of Memphis and Shelby County providing its residents with a healthy and safe environment, economic opportunity, affordable housing, and excellent quality of life.
