HUNTINGTON, WV — A development firm is being sought for several projects within Huntington’s Fairfield neighborhood, the first of which could bring a highly requested grocery store as well as apartments to the former Northcott Court property.
The projects are part of a draft Fairfield Innovation Plan, which is described as a road map to revitalization of the former Northcott Court property and the enhancement of the surrounding neighborhood. The projects, to be completed in three phases, would help re-establish Fairfield as a “vibrant and resilient community of opportunity and choice,” according to the plan.
HUNTSVILLE, AL – The announcement didn’t come gradually or with the drama that accompanied the rollout of the top four teams participating in the college football playoff, but for the city’s civic leaders the news was just as exciting and filled with suspense for the future.
Huntsville is one of four cities nationwide to receive a Choice Neighborhood Planning grant. The Rocket City joined Rome, Ga.; Trenton, N.J.; and Omaha, Neb.; in receiving the award.
The cities were notified in September and Huntsville officials unveiled plans Thursday on how the $1.3 million grant will be used.
“We’ll renovate west of downtown and around Butler Terrace,’’ said Scott Erwin, the city interim director of community development.
Plans call for new affordable housing, commercial opportunities and entertainment options.
Erwin said the blueprints are designed to renovate “distressed public housing’’ and improve blight in a one-mile radius around Butler Terrace, which was built in the early 1950s. The area is from Bob Wallace and Memorial Parkway west to Triana Boulevard and I-565.

BROWNSVILLE, TX — “What makes this project special is how much the (Buena Vida) families participated in the idea and in the design of the project,” he said. “What we’re working on today is a direct result of their thoughts, their participation and their engagement in the process. This was not a developer-led design. This was a community-led design.”
