2018-24 Update CRA

2018-2024 Uptown Community Plan Update

Over the past six years, your CRA has rehabbed approximately 200 homes for homeowners, replaced over 5 miles of sidewalks, cleaned up thousands of vacant lots and abandoned properties, worked with local organizations to construct more than 75 new homes, and implemented significant infrastructure, parks, and public space projects. And while the mission of the CRA is to fight blight and provide affordable housing, this work is also building generational wealth for our community. The CRA has utilized local minority-owned contractors and neighborhood entrepreneurs to perform much of this neighborhood-building work.

We are focused on building partnerships with neighborhood organizations, entrepreneurs, and residents for the implementation of the Community Plan. As we continue to implement the Plan over the remaining approximately seven years of the Uptown TIF, we are committed to the community-based model that we began in 2018. Neighbors, the best is yet to come for North Memphis!
