If we need a new Regional One, where is the money coming from?

from The AM/DM · host The Daily Memphian

Early on, the plan to overhaul Regional One was to rebuild the entire thing on its current site, and to do it in phases so the hospital could still operate during construction. But then the plan changed, to building a new hospital on the Commercial Appeal's former home on Union Avenue. The land was purchased, for $26.6 million, and the entire project is estimated to cost upwards of $900 million. But where will that money come from?  Rejoining us today is reporter Jody Callahan to talk about how Shelby County might fund a new Regional One and where we are in the process.  Plus: A No Kings march ended with pepper spray and arrests The Shop Black Fest is heading to Downtown Memphis Minglewood Hall is for sale
