What this tracks
This dataset records economic development projects in Memphis that received incentives through the EDGE program but don’t fall under standard categories like PILOTs or tax freezes.
Why it matters to you
If you’re considering opening a business near one of these projects, this data shows where Memphis is directing economic growth resources. A restaurant owner might avoid opening near a new FTZ-77 warehouse zone (like the one at 4835 S. Mendenhall Drive) if they learn it’s receiving special financing for industrial use. Neighborhood groups can track whether promised job creation (ProjectedTotalJobs) materializes near their homes.
How to read this data
