Downtown Memphis Commission announces new partnership to improve service efficiency
The Downtown Memphis Commission (DMC) announced a new partnership with Block by Block, a nationally recognized organization operating more than 150 unique programs across the country.
DMC officials announced the collaboration on Thursday. The partnership is designed to elevate the DMC’s ambassador initiative, currently known as the Blue Suede Brigade and Clean & Green Teams.
Officials said Block by Block will manage the day-to-day operations of the teams while working closely with and under the DMC.
According to the DMC, the new structure will allow for a more specialized and efficient approach to following services:
- Blue Suede Brigade: Focused on hospitality and guest assistance, providing a welcoming presence throughout Downtown Memphis.
- Safety Team: Dedicated to patrolling downtown with an emphasis on public safety and incident prevention. Safety personnel will also be stationed inside the Downtown Command Center, providing real-time support and communication.
- Clean & Green Team: Charged with beautifying downtown, maintaining cleanliness and enhancing public spaces.
