Revitalizing Huntsville Homes: In a bid to enhance housing options, Huntsville is gearing up for significant transformations. The final public meeting, held at the Boys and Girls Club in southwest Huntsville, focused on the Mill Creek Project, particularly centered around Governor’s Drive.
The city aims to revamp Butler Terrace and Johnson Towers, seeking community input. Attendees like John OBrien expressed optimism, emphasizing that protections under the Uniform Relocation Act safeguard current residents from outright gentrification.
Turkessa Coleman-Lacy, the executive deputy director of Huntsville Housing Authority, highlighted the Choice Neighborhood Initiative’s (CNI) central focus on people during neighborhood revitalization. The goal is to eliminate barriers for existing families, ensuring their right to return to the property.
The ambitious plan targets the transformation of 750 residential units, incorporating senior housing, workforce housing authority, and a mix of market rates. The vision is to create a secure environment with a vested sense of community.
Residents may anticipate moving in over the next three to four years, although the entire project could span a decade. The upcoming steps involve Huntsville and HHA solidifying strategies and partnerships before applying for a grant in February 2024. Excitement is brewing for the potential realization of a thriving community in the heart of Huntsville.
