Goldsboro, NC
The West Oak Choice Neighborhoods Plan is a transformative initiative aimed at revitalizing the West Oak neighborhood and redeveloping the distressed West Haven public housing site. Led by Camiros in coordination with the Housing Authority of the City of Goldsboro (HACG) and the City of Goldsboro, this effort is designed to create a vibrant, mixed-income community by investing in high-quality housing, infrastructure, education, workforce development, and economic opportunities.
Developed through an extensive planning process, the plan reflects the input of West Haven residents, community stakeholders, and local organizations. It outlines a vision for a safe, diverse, and thriving neighborhood, where new mixed-income housing, upgraded public spaces, and enhanced transportation networks support a higher quality of life. The plan also prioritizes economic mobility by connecting residents to job training, financial literacy programs, and employment pathways.
Key initiatives include the redevelopment of West Haven into a modern, mixed-income housing community, the creation of a state-of-the-art park along Ash Street, and the establishment of a Project Development District to fund infrastructure improvements. Educational partnerships with organizations such as the Boys and Girls Club and Kinetic Minds will expand after-school and workforce training programs, addressing chronic absenteeism and economic disparities.
The West Oak Choice Neighborhoods Plan is a collaborative effort to build a resilient and inclusive neighborhood. Through strategic investments and strong community engagement, West Oak is set to become a model for sustainable revitalization, ensuring that current and future residents benefit from lasting improvements and economic opportunity.
