Funding Opportunities The CRA actively pursues diverse funding sources including state brownfield grants, local environmental programs, and federal EPA Brownfields funding, indicating multiple entry points for partnerships and grant-supported initiatives.

Redevelopment Partnerships Strategic collaborations with nonprofits and developers (e.g., Rebuilding Together, Christian Service Center, Jones Urban Development) show openness to joint ventures, asset acquisition, and turnkey community improvements that could align with your services.

Brownfield Focus Significant recent investments in brownfield cleanups and remediation (BRAG grants, EPA cleanup funding) signal a continued emphasis on environmental redevelopment, creating demand for environmental consulting, remediation services, and sustainable redevelopment solutions.

Regional Scale As a joint city-county agency with broad neighborhood reach and aspirations for reinvestment, there are opportunities to pilot programs or scale solutions across multiple Memphis–Shelby County neighborhoods, expanding footprint for vendors with local impact.

Tech Enablement The CRA’s technology stack includes WordPress, Microsoft 365, and outreach tools, suggesting a need for digital engagement enhancements, data-driven project management, and stakeholder communication solutions to support redevelopment programs.
