Memphis Top 10% in International Exports

Charles Blatteis, Chair of the Regional Chamber's International Council, recently announced that the US Department of Commerce released its export rankings and Memphis ranked 28 out of 326 cities. This represents more than $7 billion in exports - $2 billion more than Nashville. You might not think of it, but Memphis is a serious player in international business. We'll never be New York or Los Angeles but we're already more significant than 90% of the cities who even made the list. With the aerotropolis concept being developed here, those number are sure to rise in the near future.
