Fairfield Innovation Plan
Huntington, West Virginia
Client
City of Huntington
Description
The Fairfield Innovation Plan was developed with the active involvement of former Northcott Court residents, community leaders, residents of the Fairfield neighborhood, City staff and a variety of affordable housing, education and social service providers who have long-standing relationships with the City of Huntington, the Huntington WV Housing Authority (HWVHA) and the Fairfield community. The Fairfield Innovation Plan is consistent and builds upon the City’s Comprehensive Plan and other citywide planning initiatives such as the Huntington Innovation Project Revitalization Plan, the award-winning America’s Best Community Initiative, and the recently adopted Hal Greer Boulevard Corridor Plan.
The Fairfield Innovation Plan is a roadmap for the revitalization of HWVHA’s former Northcott Court property and the enhancement of the surrounding neighborhood to reestablish the Fairfield neighborhood as a vibrant and resilient community of opportunity and choice. A community that is livable, connected, prosperous, educated, safe, sustainable, and one that values its legacy and respects its people. The development of the Plan has generated incredible excitement and positive momentum towards making the Fairfield neighborhood a better place to live while building significant local capacity to ensure the successful implementation of the Plan in the short, medium, and long term.
