Downtown Memphis looks toward $175 million statewide investment in public safety
Changes are on the horizon for Downtown Memphis, bolstered by a significant investment in public safety following Governor Bill Lee's recent state of the state address.
On Monday, his office unveiled a budget plan for the 2025-26 fiscal year, allocating $175 million to a downtown public safety grant and crime prevention program. This initiative coincides with the upcoming major renovations at FedExForum, a project valued at $550 million.
