Legacy ComplexJohnson High

24

The City of Huntsville began evaluating the redevelopment of the former 47 acre J.O. Johnson High School campus in 2018.

As work progressed on the redevelopment plan, it was determined that the best approach to achieve the community?s desired uses would be to implement the plan under a multi-phased approach, which consisted

of four (4) phases:

Phase I Johnson Legacy Complex: Currently under construction (2020 opening)

Phase II Single-Family Residential Cecil Fain Drive Improvements: Currently pending City Council approval.

Phase III/ IV Single-Family Residential Senior Living Neighborhood Commercial: future development uses.

The City of Huntsville prepared and issued a

public Request for Proposals (RFP) for the Phase II portion of the redevelopment plan. The RFP process provided an open format to gain interest and evaluate formal proposals from the private sector to construct the initial single-family residential component of the overall redevelopment plan.

The goal of the RFP process was to secure a public/private partnership with an entity under a formal Development Agreement to successfully implement the construction of single-family residential units that would conform to the redevelopment plan.
