Overview of MMDC's 2023 Real Estate Investments, Grants, and Planning Activities
Through the Public Space Proposal Fund, MMDC completed two significant sidewalk repairs in the Uptown and Madison Heights neighborhoods this fall.
This week, MMDC honored and celebrated our District Ambassadors who work hard to keep the District clean, vibrant, and inviting all year long.
At each Crosswalk Zebra event volunteers dress in Zebra costumes and walk – or dance! – pedestrians across the street to attract drivers' attention.
In partnership with MATA, MMDC is implementing a series of new bus shelter installations throughout the Medical District. The art panel designs share a vibrant snapshot of some of the icons of our Medical District neighborhoods.
MMDC collaborated with local artist Anthony Lee to create colorful new stencils for Health Sciences Park. The stencils show the accessible icon symbol, which shows a wheelchair riding figure moving through space. This new addition will help make wheelchair accessible pathways and seating options more visible. This is just one step in making the park a place for everyone!
Naming, a temporary, traveling public art installation designed by Colin Kidder, honors the individuals who were struck and killed by cars in Memphis in 2020. It encourages viewers to consider all the challenges pedestrians encounter while walking on our streets including blocked sidewalks, dangerous drivers, and broken infrastructure.
In 2020-21, MMDC partnered with Toole Design, a nationally recognized design firm with expertise in landscape architecture, planning, and urban design, and Creative Punch, a local full-service design & branding studio, to develop new concepts to guide our future streetscape investments in the Medical District.
Since 2016, MMDC has worked to activate the District’s largest greenspace, Health Sciences Park, in ways that engaged residents, employees, students, and visitors through a multiyear transformation of Health Sciences Park.
BOXLOT was a temporary retail activation built from shipping containers. Its mission was to create opportunities for local small business owners to test their business models and to provide an example of how these activations can catalyze development in a neighborhood.
The MLK Avenue Streetscape project is MMDC’s third phase of streetscape enhancement projects implemented in partnership with the City of Memphis. The MLK project corridor runs from Peabody Avenue to Danny Thomas Boulevard and continues to Fourth Street in Downtown Memphis, thanks to a partnership with the Downtown Memphis Commission.
