The Greater Memphis Chamber is launching a new moon mission
in an effort to return the city to its glory days of the mid-20th
century, when it was regarded as one of the cleanest cities in the
United States. The Memphis Clean by 2019 announcement came
at the recent annual Greater Memphis Chamber’s Chairman Circle
luncheon.
“
Since the beginning we wanted to find a moon mission that
would include every citizen in our community--one that every
Memphian could see, touch and feel,” says Spence Wilson Jr.,
Principal of Kemmons Wilson Companies, in a statement. “The
Chairman’s Circle has voted to put the power and resources of
the business community behind an unprecedented effort to rid
Memphis of trash and blight.”
If the effort mimics a similar initiative from the late 1940s
that transformed the city, blighted buildings and homes will be
torn down; flowers and gardens will be planted on vacant lots;
neglected residential, commercial and industrial buildings will be
rehabbed; and landowners will be educated on the personal and
civic value of keeping their properties attractive.
Other Chamber moon missions that are already underway include
the Long Range Plan and Advance Green Spaces.
Leaders hope that the Memphis Clean by 2019 mission will be
fully realized in time for the city’s bicentennial celebration in
2019.
