In this issue, we celebrate a big win for public transportation in our region. The MATA Build Grant will help our city take a big step forward in offering a rapid transit option that will connect people to jobs, education and more.

"The event's goal was to kickstart an initiative to upskill 10,000 for the future workforce by connecting employable individuals with job and skills training programs that can get them into higher-paying positions," said Beverly Robertson, President and CEO of the Greater Memphis Chamber.

Move Your Money to Memphis is an initiative of the Greater Memphis Chamber to encourage business decision makers to increase spending with Memphis-based companies and to encourage companies with Memphis-based operations to increase their investment and support in the Memphis region by making spending with local vendors and suppliers a priority.
