Redevelopment
After the war, residents began leaving the Woodbridge neighborhood for homes in the suburbs. New residents to Woodbridge were less affluent. In the 1960s, the city cleared areas adjacent to the neighborhood to support revitalization. The residents of Woodbridge organized a Citizen's District Council to preserve the neighborhood, and successfully managed to stabilize and preserve many of the remaining homes. Recent activity has shifted perception of Woodbridge to that of an up-and-coming neighborhood. The Phoenix Group Companies based in the Woodbridge Historic District specializes in revitalization projects.
