Morning, sunshines. It’s Monday, June 10, and if budgets make you weary, prepare to be bored with today’s civic happenings. The Collierville Board of Mayor and Aldermen will take a final vote on the suburb’s budget today. 

The Memphis City Council meets in a city-budget committee session, too, though final votes won’t come on Memphis Mayor Paul Young’s proposal until the end of the month. Budget adjustments and property taxes are also on the agenda for the Germantown Board of Mayor and Aldermen. (But no worries on those taxes; they’re staying flat.)

The Daily Memphian’s Sophia Surrett talked to Greater Memphis Chamber President and CEO Ted Townsend about how they sealed the deal in 90 days. And for any of you who are skeptical of Musk’s plans, because hey, we’ve been burned before (remember Sidney Shlenker?), Geoff Calkins tells why he thinks this deal is great news for the city. 

Arts organizations Tone and Unapologetic have long had a plan to redevelop the Orange Mound Tower into a mixed-use, arts-forward space. But those plans are finally moving along with the project now in its design phase. Architect Germane Barnes turned to his class at the University of Ohio for design ideas, which include a food hall, a collaborative, flexible space for Black-owned businesses, a performing arts stage, a greenhouse and plenty more.
