Boxes and crates were stacked on floors and desks. The leader of the nonprofit organization ac- knowledges that in some ways the new address moves to Clark Tower won’t be as accessible to the people for whom it advocates. At its former office in a worn-down strip center at 1633 Madison Ave., 15 parking spaces are avail- able right out the front door. At Clark Tower, there’s an attached 2,000-space parking structure, a journey to the lobby and an elevator ride. At the Midtown site, a logo and large sign – “Memphis Center for Independent Living’’ – still hang over the now-empty office across from Cash Saver grocery. At Clark Tower, the only identification is in the touch-screen, electronic directory in the lobby and the small door sign outside Suite 810. The former office totaled 6,100 square feet; the Clark Tower suite encompasses just over 1,000 square feet. But the new challenges don’t mean the move was unwise. The center has operated out of the Midtown strip center for 14 years – and 18 years before that just around the corner on Angelus. The organization had to foot the annual property tax bill for the space it leased in addition to paying rent and utilities. Last winter, the tax bill skyrocketed 10 times what it normally is, from about $600 to about $6,000, Klink said. The cause: The rising property values in Midtown and along Madison.

  • Future I-22 Corridor
    Future I-22 Corridor The proposed I‐22 was originally called Corridor X, later designated as High Priority Corridor 10, one of 83 federally identified High Priority Corridors which get special funding and more technological focus. (I.E. grants, etc.) High Priority Corridors fit in with the federal plan to institute connected technology throughout the U.S. highway system to support distribution of International Trade into and around the US. Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_22 Interstate 22 (I‐22), when completed, will follow the U.S. Highway 78 corridor along a 213‐mile (343‐km) route from Memphis, Tennessee, to Birmingham, Alabama.[2] Future I‐22 will connect Interstate 55 and Interstate 40 in the northwest to Interstate 65 and Interstate 20 in the southeast, passing through or close to the towns of Holly Springs, Mississippi; New Albany, Mississippi; Tupelo, Mississippi; Hamilton, Alabama; Winfield, Alabama; and Jasper, Alabama. The part of I‐22 east of Fulton, Mississippi, was approved in 1978 as Corridor X, part of the Appalachian Development Highway System. Parts of the highway have been under construction ever since. Two stretches of the interstate remain to be completed. One stretch is in Alabama and totals approximately 6 miles (9.7 km) in length from Cherry Avenue in Forestdale to U.S. Highway 31 in Birmingham. This section includes the interchange with Interstate 65. The other stretch is from the Mississippi/Tennessee state line to its terminus in Memphis. The exact location of the western terminus has not been decided as of yet, but Interstate 269 (when completed) and Interstate 240 have been discussed as possible termini.

In order to maximize national impact, allocate additional funding for development of the National Freight Network. Add Strategic Capacity: The current National Highway I-69 segment opens up in Indiana Freight Network provides limited opportunity to add capacity to the nation’s freight highway system. This will compromise the nation’s ability to keep pace with projected increase in highway freight movements, while compromising safety and mobility. To address this, states should be given the flexibility to utilize National Highway Freight Program formula funding on any project included in the state’s Freight Plan approved by USDOT.
