Jessica Lotz with Innovate Memphis

“I know in Memphis, we are hard on ourselves on everything that we want to improve, but it's always so great when you see people from other cities just be blown away.”

On this week’s show we chat with Jessica Lotz of Innovate Memphis about the impact of community engagement in Memphis and how Innovate Memphis supports the city. We also talk about how stats and data can help us make important decisions in urban planning, as Jessica shares with us that Innovate Memphis will be creating a special platform for Memphis data.
