New Frayser High School construction starts in Memphis, US
Turner Construction has commenced the $150m development of the New Frayser Community High School in Memphis, Tennessee, US.
This project involves building an educational facility to accommodate 1,500 students.
The new 270,000ft² high school will consolidate the existing MLK Prep and Trezevant High School.
According to Turner, it will offer a 'modern' learning environment with a specialised centre for career and technology education, a creative arts or fine arts centre, STEM labs, broadcast facilities, graphic design classrooms, sports facilities, as well as Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) facilities.
The project will focus on durability, safety and adaptability to support future technological advancements and new teaching methods.
This development is planned in two phases, with the construction timeline set to meet the opening date for the academic year 2027–2028.
Turner Construction vice-president and general manager Andy Davis said: 'Frayser High School is more than a building—it's a promise to the next generation.'
'We're honoured to be a part of this project and to work with the Frayser community to create a space where students can thrive, explore, and build their futures.'
Turner Construction and Gilbane Building Company are also construction managers on the $2.1bn Highmark Stadium project in New York, US, which was topped out earlier this month with the placing of the final key roof module for the facility.
In February, Turner Construction celebrated the topping out of the Press Blocks project in Portland, Oregon, signifying the completion of vertical construction on the mixed-use development.

Medical HBCU partners with church for $310M redevelopment
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Meharry Medical College is partnering with Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church for its $310 million redevelopment plan. Healthcare is not easily accessible for every person who lives in Memphis, especially for individuals who live in rural or low-income communities. However, a new partnership with Meharry Medical College and Mississippi Boulevard Christian Church could turn things around. It was announced just days after Pastor J. Lawrence Turner unveiled a $310M redevelopment plan for the church's Midtown campus. Church announces $310 million redevelopment plan for Midtown campus Turner tells WREG that a portion of the project will include medical offices, fitness centers and other types of health-focused facilities. 'We came up with a mixed-use development that would be comprised of residential, retail, restaurants, but also, a place that would have healthcare and wellness purposes and educational purposes,' Turner said. Meharry Medical College says its partnership with the church will further its mission to serve undeserved communities. On Monday, during a press conference at the church, Meharry's President and CEO, James Hildreth, will explain how the medical HBCU plans to improve health outcomes and access for Memphians. As organizers continue the pre-development stages, they're hoping that this new project brings unity and community to the city of Memphis. 'And so, that's been at the heart of what we're hoping to do, to bring people together and create vibrance and life right in the core of Memphis,' Turner said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Is Matt Turner the USMNT's No. 1 GK?: 'That's a fully loaded question for me'
Matt Turner doesn't necessarily see himself as the No. 1 goalkeeper for the U.S. men's national team and goes into every training camp with the mindset that he has to fight for his job just like anyone else. So with the Gold Cup beginning on June 14 and the World Cup almost exactly one year away, how does he see the pecking order of USMNT goalkeepers shaking out and what does that mean for him? "That's a fully loaded question for me," Turner told reporters Wednesday. "I don't see myself as the 'No. 1 No. 1' all the time. I think that's my mindset going into every camp right now is that every inch, every opportunity needs to be fought for and every opportunity that I've had under this current staff I've earned by my performances within training and the opportunities that I've had this past season with Crystal Palace. "I never think to myself, 'Oh, I'm going to come in and I'm going to play, I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that.' And I think anybody could attest to the work that I've put in to earn each opportunity that I get. I mean listen, there's lots of good goalkeepers in the pool right now. I think a lot of guys are performing well, especially some of the guys here in MLS, so it's nice to be around them, to train with them, and just keep pushing myself and pushing them to get better and hold the standards true to what we want to build on this national team." Turner, 30, was the Americans' starting goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and has been the top choice for the squad since, which included two disappointing performances at the Conacacaf Nations League Finals in March. The U.S. was first stunned by Panama, 1-0, and then by Canada, 2-1. Turner has not played much for club side Crystal Palace, which won the FA Cup last month. His last competitive match for the team was a 3-1 FA Cup win over Millwall on March 1; he didn't play in a league match this season. USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino recently commented on Turner's lack of minutes as a backup, acknowledging that he needs to "find the way to compete every week" before the 2026 World Cup. If not, another goalkeeper could overtake him as the Americans' new No. 1. "It's open in our mind," Pochettino told reporters last month regarding the starting goalkeeper position. "It's open for another player maybe to challenge in between and maybe to try to give the possibility to play another player." Turner has an entire summer to prove himself. Pochettino initially called up Turner, along with Zack Steffen, Matt Freese and Patrick Schulte as part of a 27-player roster for two upcoming friendlies against Turkey (June 7) and Switzerland (June 10). Chris Brady recently replaced Schulte, who left camp with an oblique injury, and the Colorado Rapids announced Wednesday that Steffen suffered a knee injury and has returned to his club for further examination. The USMNT opens Gold Cup group stage competition against Trinidad and Tobago on June 15, followed by Saudi Arabia on June 19 and Haiti on June 22. Turner reflected on the Gold Cup in 2021, when the U.S. beat Mexico in the final to win the tournament. He believes those performances solidified his place on the roster ahead of the 2022 World Cup. "I'm pretty sure that Gold Cup is essentially what launched me to get my move to Arsenal and now fighting my way through Europe and trying to make it work over there right now," Turner said. "Since then, I've been through a lot. I've had two kids, I've moved to three different teams, so I've had a lot of change." Back then, Turner was playing for the New England Revolution and was named MLS Goalkeeper of the Year in 2021 before moving to Premier League side Arsenal. Since then, his club play has been inconsistent, with just 31 total appearances for the Gunners, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace. If he's to get more reps between now and next summer, could Turner potentially return to MLS? He's previously stated that his preference would be to stay in Europe. "I think I'd always be open to coming back home," Turner said. "But I've had a lot of positive talks with a lot of different clubs and think the important thing for me is finding the right situation for me to play in and to maximize what I feel is my potential as well. "It's not as cut and dry anymore in player movement in general. If you look around the European soccer world — especially with a lot of new financial rules and regulations in place — clubs have to do business and get creative with the way they do business in certain situations. So it's not always just, 'I point my finger to this club, this is a good situation, I want to go here, let's make that happen.' [There are] other factors at play. You have to weigh the family side, you have to weigh the personal side, and obviously the playing side and what works from club to club as well." Turner said Wednesday he hopes he'll have news regarding his future this summer. But no matter what happens on that front, he has an opportunity to influence Pochettino's decision-making with quality performances at the Gold Cup.

Beltline Road repaving to affect drivers
Jun. 3—Road work will begin Monday on a 5-mile section of Beltline Road between U.S. 31 and Gordon Terry Parkway. The project will likely take several months to complete and will include milling the pavement, resurfacing the road and adding new traffic stripes and pavement markers, according to Alabama Department of Transportation North Region spokesperson Seth Burkett. "It's standard maintenance resurfacing," Burkett said. "This is about ensuring the longevity of the pavement and making for a smoother ride for the traveling public." Burkett said the project should be mostly completed, if not wholly completed, by the end of 2025. Work will occur between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sunday nights through Friday mornings. "The stuff that really impacts traffic will primarily be done at nighttime, so as to minimize daytime impact," Burkett said. This stretch of Beltline Road can see between 30,000 to 40,000 vehicles per day, according to ALDOT. With most work happening at night, Burkett expects evening and pre-rush hour morning drivers will experience the biggest traffic impact. He recommends travelers wanting real-time updates on lane closures and traffic check or the ALGO Traffic app. Work will be split into two segments. It will begin with the section from U.S. 31 to Danville Road. Then the northern segment from Danville Road to Gordon Terry Parkway will be repaved. "At least one lane in each direction will remain open at all times," Burkett said. "But I would expect at least a single lane closure if they're out there milling or paving at night." The project will cost $3.35 million, according to Burkett. Grayson Carter and Son Contracting Inc., an Athens-based company, will complete the work. This is a standard job for the company according to Steve Turner, the paving and milling manager. He expects traffic to be affected for a minimum of a month. As far as delays to the project's timeline, Turner said the weather could play the biggest role. "Everybody knows lately just how much rain we have had," Turner said. "If that trend continues, then it's definitely going to cause that job to be extended, but we hope that rain is just about over with." Turner encourages the public's cooperation to keep the area safe during the repaving process. "We ask for the public's patience as we're working," Turner said. "We want our people to come home safe, so try to obey all the traffic controls, the signs, and the people that are out there guiding traffic control... . We're definitely not trying to impede your day, so we don't want to get hurt in the process." — or 256-340-2437
