Brookhill Project team updates council on redevelopment plans and community initiatives

The Charlotte City Council Committee meeting on March 3, 2025, highlighted significant progress in the Brookhill Village redevelopment project, a long-standing concern for the community. Council members received an update from Antoine Denard of Core Advisors, who represents the Griffin Brother Family Office, the key stakeholders in the project.

Denard expressed gratitude for the council's previous support, particularly a $3.5 million funding approval that was matched by the county. This financial backing has been crucial in addressing the numerous housing code violations that plagued Brookhill Village. The project aims to revitalize the area, which previously housed around 100 families in deteriorating conditions.

During the meeting, Denard shared that the redevelopment is well underway, with demolition of problematic units completed. The team is now focused on future development plans, which include a partnership with the Harvest Center, a local charity dedicated to addressing homelessness. The Harvest Center is set to establish its new headquarters at Brookhill, investing $7 million in facilities expected to be completed by December 2025.

This collaboration not only enhances the community's resources but also aligns with the city's broader goals of improving housing conditions and supporting vulnerable populations. The council's commitment to revitalizing Brookhill Village reflects a proactive approach to urban development and community welfare, promising a brighter future for residents in the area.
