Our Compromise

Our Compromise Position is as follows:

We support the “build up not out” goal of Memphis 3.0.

We will keep the anchors and anchor neighborhoods determined by DPD as the path toward that goal.

Before we allow unplanned development, we will employ Memphis 3.0's Small AreaPlans, as Memphis 3.0 suggests, so that development will lead to smart growth and not to neighborhood harm. 

Our request is simple: 

Before making significant changes to a neighborhood, first study what’s already there. 

Then work with affected neighbors to create a plan that preserves the fabric of the community.
