Adding pallet rack may look straightforward, but from a compliance standpoint, it is anything but. Racking is considered a building-integrated system. That means it falls under the same scrutiny as structural steel, fire suppression, and emergency egress. Expanding without proper permits can stall projects, trigger fines, and even lead to shutdowns. In today’s fast-moving supply chain, those risks aren’t acceptable.
Permitting should be treated as a strategic step in warehouse growth. Done right, it protects uptime, lowers liability, and ensures that insurance providers and local authorities remain satisfied. At AMH, we view permitting not as red tape, but as a process that safeguards long-term operational resilience.

As both a music lover and a proud Memphian, Mempho Music Festival is one of my favorite weekends of the year. This year’s festival at Radians Amphitheater delivered everything I hoped for: Widespread Panic’s two-night run, Tyler Childers closing Sunday, and the other amazing performances. It was a weekend that showed why Memphis is a true music city.
At AMH, our work is rooted in relationships and community. Supporting Mempho is not just sponsorship, it is personal. I wanted our employees, families, customers, and partners to experience the music and culture that make this city special. Hosting a suite at Mempho is one way we give back to the community that has given us so much.
The weekend may be over, but the music continues. I created a playlist featuring artists from this year’s festival to help keep the spirit alive.
