BTH: Future of the Memphis Medical District

On this week's WKNO-TV Behind the Headlines, Memphis Medical District Collaborative President Rory T. Thomas and Director of Real Estate at Memphis Medical District Collaborative Ben Schulman discuss area developments and more with host Eric Barnes and Daily Memphian reporter Bill Dries.

The Memphis Medical District Collaborative (MMDC) is a program and an incentives-based company that aims to make the medical district prosperous and viable. As of July 2021, MMDC established a $30 million loan fund for minority developers. Thomas says the funds will help grow the medical district and "have a great economic impact across the City of Memphis."

In addition to talking about the MMDC, the guests talk about new development in the medical district, including affordable housing, a dog park, and more.
