However, the most important point made is that Black Lives Matter, especially as it pertains to the work force of Memphis and the 9th district.
I would advocate for both federal and private dollars for LOC and University of Memphis to increase their output of black tech talent.
We must identify black communities that could sustain the footprint of new industries and “Greenline” them for investment opportunities using local, state, and federal dollars.
Our local investment vehicles such as TIF’s and PILOTs would be best served creating similar opportunities in black communities for businesses with high ceilings.
I believe there is more treasure in our Black communities that simply needs recognition and investment to grow and make the 9th Congressional district competitive for the future.
