- Developers have announced forward progress on a project to provide 168 affordable apartments in central Harlem. The new Marcus Garvey Village will also be home to an LGBTQ center for the community.president Carmen Neely told a group of supporters Thursday."This block, ten years ago, was one of the worst blocks in all of central Harlem, and now it'll be one of the prettiest," said developer Ed Poteat, a managing partner at Carthage Advisors.
"He really revolutionized community development in a way that involved community, but capitalism," Poteat said,"so he was very intentional." The building will also include the new Harlem Center, a safe space for the Black and Brown LGBTQ community. Neely feels particularly proud this month to see her dream come true and offer support for a neighborhood that needs it.
