From public housing, a public place
A great idea, we’ll see how it works.
Charlotte Housing Authority is launching an ambitious plan to raze the complex off Fairview Road and replace it with a pedestrian-friendly development of high-end apartments, stores, offices and possibly a hotel. The project will be the first test of the agency’s new strategy for survival in an era of reduced federal funding: tear down public housing that sits on valuable land, partner with developers and build mixed-income housing in its place.
