Brookhill Village project celebrates renovation progress and community partnerships

Residents of Brookhill Village are set to see significant improvements as the City Council received an update on the redevelopment project during the March 3, 2025, meeting. Councilmember Brown, who has personal ties to the area, emphasized the importance of revitalizing this community, which has faced numerous housing code violations in the past.

Antoine Denard from Core Advisors presented the progress made at Brookhill, highlighting the council's previous approval of $3.5 million in funding, matched by the county, which has been crucial for the project's advancement. Denard expressed gratitude for the council's support, noting that without it, the current developments would not have been possible.

The project has seen the demolition of problematic units, with plans for redevelopment underway. Denard announced that by March 31, the Harvest Center, a charity addressing homelessness, will establish its headquarters at Brookhill, further enhancing community resources. This new facility, valued at $7 million, is expected to be completed by December.

Looking ahead to 2025, the project team plans to introduce temporary community events such as farmers markets and food truck gatherings to foster community engagement and enrichment. Currently, 89 units have been fully renovated and occupied, with plans to add at least 12 more units in the future.

The ongoing efforts at Brookhill Village reflect a commitment to transforming the area into a stable and vibrant community, demonstrating the potential for positive change in Charlotte's neighborhoods.
