Redevelopment
A redevelopment project, referred to as the Plan for Transformation, is currently in progress to rehabilitate the buildings and create mixed-income housing. The new neighborhood will be called "West Haven". Phase I of the project, which involved the building of 461 replacement housing units, was completed in 2001. Phase II will be worked on in three stages: public housing, affordable housing and market rate housing. The last high-rise building was demolished in June 2005. The last building in the original projects, a mid-rise, was demolished in 2008.
