A BIG congratulations to Memphis Merit Academy Charter School on the grand opening of their new K-6 campus in Parkway Village! Memphis Merit will be the only charter school in Parkway Village, serving nearly 500 students in the upcoming 2024-25 school year. This new campus used to be a Kroger, with plenty of space to provide expanded learning environments and a "state-of-the-art" playground facility. It's inspiring to see our charter schools repurpose unused buildings in our communities! “We’re opening doors to endless possibilities and bright futures for our young scholars.” Lakenna Booker, Memphis Merit’s founder and head of school. Memphis Merit achieved the highest possible score (5) for student growth and has an absenteeism rate lower than the Memphis-Shelby County Schools average. Thank you to Commissioner Britney Thornton, MSW for joining us for this monumental day! WATCH: https://lnkd.in/eJ96z4fQ

The adaptive reuse of the former Kroger reduced pollution and blight in our community. Check BlueHub’s reflection on our project. #FoundingMERIT
In 2023, BlueHub Loan Fund championed transformative adaptive reuse projects, breathing new life into old structures and creating opportunities for communities. Developers Clay Adkisson and Austen Helfrich are turning two motels in Nashville into much-needed housing. In Bessemer, AL, the old city hall is becoming workforce housing. In Memphis, TN, a shopping mall is being repurposed into a K-8 school by Memphis Merit Academy Charter School Academy. Adaptive reuse preserves architecture, reduces pollution and meets community needs. These projects reflect our commitment to sustainable and inclusive development. 🏘️🏫 Read more in our annual report: https://lnkd.in/eJG-X7Ys #ImpactInvesting #CommunityDevelopment #AdaptiveReuse #SustainableDevelopment #AffordableHousing
