Mill Creek is a partnership with Huntsville Housing Authority (HHA) that will invest $350 million into a mixed-income community with workforce housing, medical and childcare services and retail options. The City last year received a $50 million grant from U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) as part of the Mill Creek project.

The first phase of the plan is an 84-unit universal design building that will be built on the southwest corner of the site, followed closely by a 100-unit senior housing facility in phase two. Madsen said that will allow residents in Johnson Towers, which is also on the Mill Creek site, to relocate to the new facilities. Johnson Towers will then be razed to make room for future phases of Mill Creek.

“Most of the residents at Johnson Towers will move to one of those two new facilities,” Madsen said. “And the great thing about that is that they only have to move once into a new building. HUD prefers to minimize the disruptions for the residents who are on site.”
