Graceland boss says he is not threatening to leave Memphis


The Memphis City Council is considering a $100 million expansion plan at Graceland that includes a proposal for tax-based incentives. It includes new sound stages, cabins, retail space, a recreational vehicle park, and expansion of the Graceland Guest House hotel. Weinshanker says the difference between Graceland and Electrolux is that Electrolux "got a check," while Graceland seeks a percentage of tax revenue from sales. He said Electrolux's decision to move its Memphis operations to another Tennessee city could be because "Memphis is not doing enough to teach their kids." A lawsuit about the concert venue is ongoing, but it is not part of the expansion plan to be voted on by the council.
