Description

Join us for a Community Conversation about the new Mill Creek Redevelopment project! We will hear from Tony McGinnis, Executive Director at Huntsville Housing Authority (HHA), about this transformative project. The City of Huntsville and HHA secured a prestigious $50 million HUD Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant. This ambitious initiative aims to revitalize the Mill Creek community with 705 mixed-income housing units, workforce housing for healthcare employees, improved infrastructure and enhanced public spaces, including parks and pedestrian pathways.

Learn how this project is not just about rebuilding structures but transforming lives, with investments in healthcare, childcare, and job training to address long-standing challenges in the area. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear firsthand how Huntsville is setting a national standard for community development and innovation.
