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.
The Revive 66 Campground doesn t open until 8 p.m., but on Thursday a handful of people were waiting outside the gates by 7 p.m. Some said they had been there for a few hours to make sure they got a trailer.
There are currently 10 teardrop trailers and three units that are accessible to those with disabilities on the property, which are rented on a first-come, first-serve basis. More trailers will be delivered this week and in the coming weeks.
The campground is open Monday through Friday but that will switch to seven days a week as soon as there are enough trailers to make it financially feasible to hire more staff.
