Legacy Project Phase II: New Housing and Commercial Developments Coming to Exmore

The New Road Community Development Group, under Ava Wise's leadership, is preparing to initiate Phase II of the Legacy Project in Exmore, Virginia. Over the past 30 years, this project has contributed to housing development in the area. It has recently received $3.7 million from the Virginia Department of Housing & Community Development. The funding will support the construction of six duplex buildings and a 12-unit complex, Legacy Plaza.

Most of the housing will be located on the west side of Langley Highway, near Ruth Wise Road. The remaining four duplexes will be built on the east side of Lankford Highway. The construction of the six duplexes is scheduled to start in June 2024, and Legacy Plaza's construction is expected to begin by the end of that year.

Legacy Plaza will include commercial spaces on the ground floor and residential apartments above. An additional $1,894,500 from the funding will be used specifically for this complex. The project's goal is to offer affordable housing to lower- and middle-income families in the area.

The project's contractor will be hiring local subcontractors and workers, which is likely to increase local employment and stimulate Exmore's economy. The community is looking forward to the project's start, and updates will be provided as it progresses.

The New Road Community Development Group and Ava Wise have been acknowledged for securing the funding and their continuous efforts. The Legacy Project is expected to have a positive impact on New Road, Exmore, and the entire Eastern Shore.
