“We want to see the younger population come in. That’s why we approved Union Depot,” Bartlett Commissioner Curtis Sigler said of the development near U.S. 70 and Stage Road. (Ziggy Mack/Special to The Daily Memphian)
The concept for Bartlett’s second-ever mixed-use project with a Loflin Yard-type business passed its first hurdle Monday night, Aug. 5 despite concerns of nearby residents.
The Bartlett Planning Commission’s unanimous recommendation to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen focuses on a new residential development at 7157 Summer Ave. A portion of the 10.1-acre property is the former Bartlett Nursery.
