Tom Lee Park renovation will need Army Corps permit
With cutbank bluff construction underway, the $60 million renovation of Tom Lee Park remains on schedule for a spring 2023 opening, according to the latest update on the project. Plans for the park itself are about to go to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers for a crucial permit. (Bill Dries/Daily Memphian)
The permit is a critical juncture in the $60 million project. In an update for donors and potential donors Wednesday, April 14, park planners said the Tom Lee statue in the park will not be moved and will be a focal point of the park.
