Wendell shared with the group that Shelby County received over $19 million in appropriations during this session for a number of projects. Wendell urged the group to consider pulling the City of Memphis and Shelby County (including the individual municipalities) together to prioritize the top two to three priorities for the Greater Memphis region, saying that a consolidated effort in the 2020 legislative session could offer more opportunity for Memphis and Shelby County.
