Former elementary school to be used for housing
Earlier this month, community leaders celebrated the groundbreaking and redevelopment at the former Phillis Wheatley Elementary School, which will be used for housing.
The $22 million development will include construction of a new four-story building alongside the school building that features more than 140,000 square feet.
Ald. Russell W. Stamper II said the facility will have 82 single, double and triple bedroom units.
