Since 2021, extensive community input has been conducted to identify housing needs, leading to the development of Northside Lofts, and updates to amenities that residents are seeking. This redevelopment effort has many Aledo supporters and partners beyond the development team. We are grateful for the strong support letters in support of the project from many community-based agencies and businesses.
GROWTH, and Growth General Contracting, LLC, are actively supporting entrepreneurship in Aledo. Andrew Fisher, Construction Director, served on the former Aledo Main Street’s Economic Vitality Committee for many years, offering expertise on how Northside Lofts can spur local business growth and innovation, touring GROWTH-led developments in October 2023. Members met business owners in mixed-use spaces and learned about best practices and loan programs from Bridge Investment Community Development Corporation, a CDFI that helps small businesses launch and grow. In November 2023, Brian Hollenback, GROWTH President/CEO, and Andy Fisher discussed these efforts in an interview with WRMJ Radio.
A series of community outreaches, as recent as February 2025, were hosted and open to the public where the community could hear about the development plan, provide input, and on various redevelopment initiatives that were then incorporated within the Northside Lofts redevelopment plan.
