Elvis Presley Enterprises plans to expand Graceland and the Elvis Presley's Memphis complex across the street and has petitioned the city government for approval.

According to WMC Action News:

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) - Elvis Presley Enterprises wants to expand nearly the entire Graceland and Elvis Presley’s Memphis sites. 

Thursday, that plan was scheduled to go in front of the Memphis and Shelby County Land Use Control Board. 

That meeting has since been delayed. 

If this development project is approved, it would help expand more than 77 acres at Graceland and across the street at Elvis Presley's Memphis. 

In a letter to the city and county planning office, Elvis Presley Enterprises Inc's attorney said the Graceland Master Plan would develop areas on the east and west side of Elvis Presley Boulevard. 

The east side includes the Graceland Mansion, corporate offices and the Guest House at Graceland. On the west side, there's museums and ticketing of Elvis Presley's Memphis and car and RV parking and camping.

Plans include updading and expanding RV parking and camping. I stayed at the Graceland RV Park two years ago.
