The APEC, Inc. mission is to educate, coach and provide consultation to municipalities and utility ratepayers on accelerating the world's transition to sustainable renewable energy to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy cost simultaneously while minimizing the effects of climate change. The oragnizations's activties include conducting energy audits and calculating fuel usage with a cost analysis on commercial and residential buildings. APEC has partnered with a collegiate institution to assist with co-op education and training intern engineering students on enhancing the use of renewable energy throughout the globe to reduce climate change.
The organization plans to further it's 501 C-3 tax-exempt mission by participating in and providing free virtual discussions with students on how renewable energy is changing the world and the way we live. Organized Field-trips to the city's water treatment plants will provide students with first-hand knowledge of how drinking water is processed and treated for citizen's consumption and how methane gas and solar energy can be used to store and capture reduced utility cost.

Coliseum Coalition See the plan \ Take the survery
Save the People's Building press conference - March 15th
Citizens to ask city council to form ad hoc committee
Community leaders want reuse, not demolotion
Memphis, TN - At noon on Wednesday, March 15, community leaders held a press conference at the Mid-South Coliseum to present a plan to reuse the Coliseum. The Coliseum is located at 996 Early Maxwell Blvd. and the press conference was held on the north side, facing Simmons Bank Liberty Stadium.
Event organizers include the Orange Mound Parade Committee, Orange Mound Development Corporation, the Melrose Center for Cultural Enrichment, and the Coliseum Coalition.
Community leaders will request that the City halt its demolition plan and that the City Council form an ad hoc committee to move the Coliseum forward by using the citizen’s plan as a framework. The Coliseum Coalition developed the plan over the last two years with development consultants who were instrumental in reopening Sears Crosstown as Crosstown Concourse and revitalizing Central Station.
“Mayor Strickland has asked to be given a plan for the Coliseum,” said Orange Mound Parade Committee organizer Claudette Boyd. “We the people plan to give it to him. We believe that the Coliseum should be returned to the community, and we know there is a way!”
Organizers will also encourage the public to fill out a survey about the Coliseum to collect their ideas, to contact their elected officials to urge them to cast votes which protect the Coliseum from the proposed demolition and which seek to, instead, revitalize the Coliseum and restore it to the community’s use, and to speak their minds in public and on social media.
Organizers say they support 901FC getting a new stadium, but they say it’s wasteful to spend $10 million in unnecessary demolition costs (City’s estimate) to build at the Coliseum site, when there are other options on or near Liberty Park (see map below) and elsewhere in the city.
“Put that $10 million toward building the team an even better stadium, or use it to begin renovating the Coliseum,” said Coliseum Coalition co-founder Marvin Stockwell. “Why have one good thing at the expense of the other? We are better with both.”
