Gateway Crossing replaces 210 distressed public housing units with 386 new, mixed-income rental and affordable for-sale units. The plan expands the original public housing site, carefully incorporating former industrial parcels, railroad land, and existing private homes to create a continuum of RES components. The plan also links the site to a nearby commercial corridor, schools, parks, and other services. New homes were designed to recall the city's historic architecture to encourage better integration,socially, economically, and physically,with the broader Hagerstown community. A new 23,000-SF community center, located on a park at the edge of the new development, cemented this integration.
