New Bern Gets $25M Housing Boost | Greenville News

New Bern just landed a record-breaking $25 million HUD grant—making it the smallest city ever to receive a Choice Neighborhoods award—and is using it to transform four key sites into mixed-income housing. The centerpiece is rebuilding Trent Court Apartments, which lost over 200 units after Hurricane Florence, while redeveloping the old Days Inn and F.R. Danyus school sites. Displaced families will move into new homes ranging from one to four bedrooms, including affordable, workforce, and market-rate options. Beyond housing, plans include retail, childcare, and a waterfront green space—with construction starting at the Days Inn site around 2028. This long-term investment promises a revitalized community for all residents. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
