Planning efforts are underway in the Southbridge neighborhood as part of a broader neighborhood revitalization blueprint that envisions infill housing and parks while protecting community character—though specifics on 30 new townhomes remain in planning phase, potentially aligning with the South Wilmington Neighborhood Plan goals. In adjacent efforts, Southbridge CDC has partnered with Habitat for Humanity on the “SANKOFA” housing project, adding five new homes on New Castle Avenue and B Street to support current residents in becoming homeowners — a model WNCLB may scale in 2025.
