Memphis Mayor Willie Herenton, already under investigation by the FBI in connection with the awarding of no-bid city contracts to his contractor friends, is now being investigated for his role in a redevelopment plan involving Greyhound Bus Company. The site of the company’s downtown bus station is allegedly set to be redeveloped by contractor Elvin Moon, a Herenton friend, in a secretly-made deal that shuts out other interested parties and involves building a new facility for Greyhound near the airport. Although the roles of Moon and Greyhound are questionable, Herenton appears to be the target (Commercial Appeal).
