Inside the air-conditioned and soon-to-be occupied Edgehill at Southtown development on Birmingham’s Southside, Thomas Clark, a future resident, spoke passionately about his new home.

“I’m very excited. It’s an honor and a blessing to be a part of history. […] I think this is a good change for the community,” said Clark, who’s lived in the previous Southtown Court for three years. “It’s amazing and fascinating. I thank God for putting a roof over my head.”

Meanwhile, outside the facility on a warm morning, Jaquice Reynolds, president of the Southtown Resident Council, spoke just as passionately about the $17 million facility that consists of 60 units, including 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartment homes that are equipped with major appliances.
