People living in neighborhoods in Memphis, as well as those considering a move to Memphis, will be happy to hear that the city if fighting back against blight. All My Sons Moving & Storage has been moving people to Memphis and the surrounding neighborhoods for years. We fully understand that sometimes a clean-up is necessary.

The latest project for the neighborhoods in Memphis is to clean up the Pendleton Arms apartments. These apartments are a group of several brick buildings near the Memphis airport, the remnants of an older neighborhood in Memphis. Some housed families, professionals, and surrounding buildings used to be buzzing with commercial movers bringing in new businesses, but not anymore. The buildings have been empty and falling apart for almost 10 years.

The University of Memphis Law School is helping out, too. The University’s Law School has represented the city in almost 600 cases regarding blight in the area. Without their help, the city may not be able to tear these, and other blighted buildings, down. They will also take all of the cases for free. It’s surprising that the city needs this much legal presentation to do the right thing. The only way to create new neighborhoods in Memphis is to start fresh in certain areas.

It will cost about $300,000 to tear the buildings down and to dispose of the materials safely. No one is sure what will replace these apartments, but Memphis residents are hopeful. The location is prime for office buildings and even some apartments. We are all happy to see Memphis growing!
