Memphis Regional Megasite To Get New $52M Wastewater Discharge Pipeline

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has announced that the state will pour $52 million into building a complicated wastewater discharge pipeline at the Memphis Regional Megasite. Lee said Tuesday the project is designed to help attract potential tenants. State officials have long warned that more money is needed to make the nearly 6.5 square miles (17 square kilometers) attractive enough for prospective investors. The site is located about 40 miles east of downtown Memphis.
