We would like to see a neighborhood in the city, near the downtown, the University, the shops, etc. where new professionals that move to Tuscaloosa can buy or rent modern, beautiful neighborhood houses. Professionals DO come to Tuscaloosa to live and work who are NOT students and they have a very limited housing choice. There are plenty of apartments and rentals for students, but for working couples of any age, the only housing options are expensive large homes out of the heart of the city, or very old apartment homes behind Wal-mart. It is these working professionals that will bring new growth and livelihood to the city and develop a COMMUNITY.
