Five Initiatves
Accelerating Economic Growth & Improving Quality of Life in Memphis and Shelby County
Memphis Fast Forward is a portfolio of initiatives based on the convergence of research and common sense: that economic growth and prosperity and improved quality of life result from Memphis and Shelby County getting the basics right -- good jobs, an educated workforce, safe neighborhoods, healthy citizens and efficient government. To achieve this, Memphis Fast Forward developed and is implementing strategic plans in the following areas:
 |
Creating innovators and entrepreneurs as global leaders in the bioscience, logistics, tourism, and music/film industries.
|
 |
Building a competitive workforce in the new economy by supporting students' education from early childhood through college attainment
|
 |
Reducing crime through data-driven interventions in effective policing, prosecution, and community partnerships
|
 |
Contributing to high-performing governments known for wise use of taxes, lean government, progressive policy, and overall stability

This is the latest addition to the Memphis Fast Forward portfolio of initiatives. More information will be available soon.
