A 1.3-acre vacant lot stands at the epicenter of plans to develop property in East Winston near the Innovation Quarter, with two church-related groups vying to acquire the site from Forsyth County government.
The bidding comes at a time when East Winston is on the verge of seeing a game-changing 200-unit apartment complex built to provide affordable housing in a $40 million investment.
The county has not even decided to sell the property, but the groups have differing ideas on what should go there: The development team associated with United Metropolitan Missionary Baptist Church, which is building the apartments, sees the site as a park envisioned by the East End Master Plan for transforming the neighborhood.
