Big government projects may move forward this week. The Shelby County Board of Commissioners is expected to vote on $28.8 million in capital funding for Regional One Health's new Union Avenue campus. And the Memphis-Shelby County Schools system will consider the next phase of its facilities plan, which includes school closures, consolidations and renovations. And the University of Memphis men's basketball team will be in the Bahamas for the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship.
