What is Developing in Midtown

Every midtown neighborhood has seen renovations of historic homes and new homes built. There are so many apartment buildings under construction and in the planning stages, it is hard to keep track of them. MidtownMemphis.org works with neighborhood residents and representatives to review applications that go before the Landmarks Commission, the Land Use Control Board, and the Board of Adjustment. A monthly P&D, (Planning & Development) is held where the applications are discussed. Residents and neighborhood representatives share information and experiences to help each other communicate their concerns, opposition, and support of projects.

The Unified Development Code is being rewritten to better align with Memphis 3.0. The Memphis Department of Planning and Development has formed a committee to review recommended changes from a consultant. There will be public meetings at some point in the future. MidtownMemphis.org will be actively monitoring this process. Sign up for our newsletter to stay informed.
