RIVERSIDE GREENING & DEMOLITION

PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The Lonestar site previously functioned as a concrete manufacturing facility, and has acted as the front entryway for residents and visitors coming into Memphis over the Hernando DeSoto Bridge. Although the landmark signage was an eye catcher, the site was always believed to have a more appropriate use.

The demolition of the current site is currently taking place to revert it back to an open green space for public use. It will provide a riverfront trail that connects Tom Lee Park to Bass Pro at the Pyramid, and is a piece of a much larger trail system. This land will also serve as the main vehicular access into the Bass Pro development. Critical to the future of the Pinch District,
this area will spark economic growth throughout the surrounding area.
