Design Assistance Program

Some businesses in Bartlett Station want to improve the exterior appearance of their buildings and have asked for ideas of what changes to make. The Commission contracted with the design firm of Looney Ricks Kiss (Memphis) to develop the Design Assistance Program (PDF) which is available for the locations shown on this map (PDF).

LRK worked with businesses and property owners in drafting Design Guidelines (PDF), to guide building owners and their architects in deciding on the most effective improvements to building facades.
