The grant will support the transformation of the Murchison Townhouses public housing community into the new mixed-income Murchison Choice Neighborhood. “This is a major investment in the future of Fayetteville and, most importantly, in the families who call Murchison home,” said Congressman Rouzer. “This funding will help bring new housing, stronger infrastructure, and greater opportunities to one of Fayetteville’s historic neighborhoods. I was proud to support the City of Fayetteville’s application, and I’m pleased to see this significant federal investment become a reality.” "This Choice award will be a game-changer for the Murchison Road corridor and the families who call it home. For years, our residents have shared their vision for a stronger, safer, more connected neighborhood — today, that vision starts becoming reality,” said Fayetteville Mayor Mitch Colvin. I want to thank Congressman Rouzer, our Murchison Choice team and every resident who showed up to shape this plan, understanding that this work is about more than what we see today — it’s about what we’re building for the next generation. Fayetteville is ready to get to work." The award will leverage more than $531 million in public and private investment to fund the next phase of the Murchison Choice Transformation Plan, a comprehensive strategy to revitalize one of Fayetteville’s most historic neighborhoods through new housing, infrastructure, and community investment. Fayetteville’s grant follows sustained advocacy from Congressman Rouzer and the City’s Congressional delegation. Congressman Rouzer advocated for the City’s application with HUD leadership, including through an April 2026 letter to Secretary Scott Turner in support of the project. The project will replace all 60 units at the 56-year-old Murchison Townhouses public housing community while creating 323 new mixed-income apartments across the Murchison Townhouses and Elliott Properties sites. The project will also expand supportive services for residents and support physical improvements throughout the surrounding neighborhood. | 1 | 2026-09-04T09:19:37Z | 2026-09-04T09:20:58Z |
