Blight affects all of us. It can be a cancer killing viable neighborhoods, but resources and organizations can help. Join us as we discuss how Memphis is tackling the disease of blight.

“Shedding Light on Blight” kicks off this year’s EmPOWERING Sustainable Neighborhoods webinar series at 4 p.m. Thursday, April 28.

Gale Jones Carson, host and MLGW’s Vice President of Community and External Affairs, will talk with Blight Authority of Memphis Interim Executive Director Steve Lockwood, City of Memphis Code Enforcement Supervisor and Shelby County Commissioner Eddie Jones and Memphis City Beautiful Program Coordinator David Burgess.
