Feb 6, 2023

On Friday, February 3, 2023, TVA and the Port of Memphis reached an exciting new milestone for the Allen Restoration Project—the implosion of the three 400-foot-tall stacks at the retired Allen Fossil Plant. Removal of the stacks bring TVA and the Port of Memphis one step closer to the shared goal of restoring the site for future economic development.

The Allen site is a critical component of the Port master redevelopment plan.

Pidgeon Industrial Park.
