'People have to understand that in order to increase the commerce, as the saying goes, retail follows rooftops.'
First elected in 2016, Huntsville City Councilman Devyn Keith is in his second term as the District 1 representative.
The redevelopment around former J.O. Johnson High School including Johnson Legacy Center and Legacy Park is among the projects in District 1. What other projects have been completed or are ongoing you feel residents should be aware of? Obviously, Lantana used to be a commercial. We bought that land back to turn it into a passive park to increase the green space, as well as beautification being a big thing for us.
As much as we saw at one point, the redevelopment that was a PUD development for a place like Providence, we’re trying to do those things when it comes to Jaguar Hills, Spragins and over the past two and a half years because of public-private partnerships with redevelopments like Stanley and home builders like Davidson, we’re about to put almost 400 units in Northwest Huntsville in a manner of two years. Before that, there had not been a new residential development in almost 12 years.
We want people to get in and out of Huntsville with ease, and people who live in Huntsville to reap the benefits of the infrastructure that is here.
