MEMPHIS, Tenn. — On Thursday, March 21, the Shelby County Commissioner announced the creation of a Black Caucus Economic Inclusion Task Force at Regional One.
Shelby County Commissioner Henri Brooks said she hopes this will ensure equitable Black inclusion and provide oversight over the rebuilding of the hospital.
"It's important to be able to increase Black economic participation in that catalytic investment...to provide job training and skills for young people who are trapped in poverty to be able to get decent living wage jobs and have careers and options," she said.
The task force will be formed by ten members of the Shelby County business community.
