The proceeds will largely go to Eden Village, a gated tiny home community that will provide shelter for 32 single adults who have been homeless in Wilmington for at least a year.
Wilmington City Council just sold Optimist Park, which suffered from flooding during Hurricane Florence. Proceeds from the sale will go to permanent supportive housing for the homeless, with the lion’s share going to Eden Village.
Two government bodies purchased parts of the park: North Carolina Ports and Cape Fear Public Utility Authority. The tract of land is South of downtown on Front Street, close to Greenfield Lake. Due to its proximity to downtown, city staff said they’re working with the Port to create a buffer zone with downtown.

SOUTHEASTERN NC Cape Fear Habitat for Humanity submitted a rezoning request to build an 11-home project in Castle Hayne, in a bid to bring a collection of affordable homes to a rural region of the county.
The current zoning permits an eight-lot development on 5 acres. Habitat wants to increase the density by three lots, said Lauren McKenzie, director of finance and operations for the nonprofit.
“That location, especially in Castle Hayne, is going to be a new community for us,” she said. “It really supports the affordable-housing model because it’s still close enough to where families can benefit from access to downtown Wilmington services, but they can also enjoy the benefits of rural living.”
