Our point of view is the real work starts Monday. We want to make sure we do it right – dot all the I’s and cross all the T’s, so that’s where we are right now.” Covington said no meetings have been set with city officials yet and that union officials plan to meet with their attorney next week to discuss next steps.

    June 2015 Multi‐disciplinary Commentaries on a Blueprint for Prosperity Foreword The City of Memphis’ Blue Print for Prosperity is a city initiated effort to partner with other local initiatives, organizations and agencies to increase the wealth among low income citizens, increase their resiliency to meet daily financial exigencies and reduce poverty. A number of factors contribute to those challenges. Thus any successful effort to address them requires a multidisciplinary approach. In June 2014, a set of researchers at the University of Memphis across a range of academic colleges and departments was invited to discuss approaches to wealth creation and poverty reduction for the various perspectives of their various disciplines. Based on that conversation, they were asked to submit policy briefs from those perspectives with recommendations to contribute to a community process to produce a plan for action. The following report summarizes and provides those briefs. Participants in the report and their contributions include: David Cox, Ph.D., Department of Public and Nonprofit Administration, School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, College of Arts and Sciences.
