Southside Choice Neighborhood Plan

Mobile, Alabama

Client

Mobile Housing Board

Description

The Southside Choice Neighborhoods Initiative (“CNI”) Neighborhood has a rich legacy of workforce and market rate housing close to
interesting, well-paying jobs. The community is known for its strength, resilience and character. It has seen better days, but is poised to make a dramatic comeback. Although physically isolated by an intentional, but unfortunate, circular development pattern, the Southside
CNI Neighborhood remains firmly rooted to the fortunes of the surrounding community. The Plan to transform the Southside CNI Neighborhood builds on the collective wisdom and voices of neighborhood residents of all ages, local businesses leaders, and organizations that serve the community. At the core of the Plan is the redevelopment or repositioning of approximately 330+ acres of
land and apartments owned by MHB. Several opportunities must be embraced directly, creatively, and strategically to achieve our vision.
