Town of Mooresville issued the following announcement on Nov. 20.
The Town of Mooresville, N.C., announced today that American Homes 4 Rent (NYSE: AMH) (“American Homes 4 Rent” or the “Company”), a leading single-family property owner, leasing operator and build-to-rent developer with a presence in the Charlotte market, will donate $50,000 to the community to help fund Liberty Village, a planned neighborhood that will support veterans and public servants by creating affordable housing with reintegration services and amenities. In addition, American Homes 4 Rent’s local vendor community is working to collectively match the Company’s donation for a total contribution of $100,000.
Liberty Village will be a one-of-kind project in the Town of Mooresville that will honor local veterans, first responders and other essential community servicemembers. Liberty Village will be connected to Liberty Park and the War Memorial Center as well as downtown, with vibrant places to shop, eat, drink, connect and gather, like Welcome Home Vets and Richard’s Coffee Shop.
“Liberty Village will be the place where our residents care for each other, especially our veterans and our heroes,” says Town of Mooresville Mayor Miles Atkins. Today is the beginning of a journey to realize the vision of Liberty Village, and we are very excited to be joined by our vision partner American Homes 4 Rent, as they help contribute to the future of America—and Mooresville—by funding quality housing options. We look forward to others joining us in the future to help make Liberty Village become a reality.
The Town of Mooresville has begun by acquiring 3.25 acres across from the War Memorial Center, just steps from downtown. This year, city officials will start the planning and design process to advance the project.
“American Homes 4 Rent is proud to partner with the Town of Mooresville on making the Liberty Village vision of honoring veterans and public servants a reality,” says Cisco Garcia, executive vice president of development based in Charlotte. “We have built a team that understands the power of community and that represents the diverse residents we serve. We view our investment in Liberty Village as a natural extension of our values and commitment to caring for people in Mooresville.”
