At the meeting, residents gathered to listen to the President and CEO of Elvis Presley Enterprises, Jack Soden.
Diagrams outlined what is to come on the west side of Elvis Presley Blvd. Gone are the days of old and tired facilities. In their place will be brand new, state-of-the-art buildings that will include a soundstage, a car museum and two restaurants.
My Fox Memphis learned Tuesday the Heartbreak Hotel will be knocked down. In its place, more parking will be added.
Community members who attended the meeting had questions about how the expansion will affect neighborhoods that border the Graceland facilities. Soden said there will be impact during the construction, and the final product should yield higher property values in the area.
