Reaching New Heights: Past, Present, and Future
Since its inception, the Goler Community Development Corporation has had a significant impact on Winston Salem's downtown housing and neighborhood amenities. Goler has recently begun implementation of its plan for The Heights – The New Town Downtown®, a $100 million mixed use development plan for the northern gateway to downtown Winston-Salem. This area is a multi-generational, multi-cultural, mixed-income neighborhood on 14 acres bounded by Martin Luther King Jr., Drive, Patterson Avenue, Wake Forest Innovation Quarter, and the Downtown Arts District. More than $30 million of development has already been completed, including upscale residential lofts, townhomes, and the Truliant Victory Member Financial Center to meet the needs of the growing neighborhood, its businesses, and its residents.

Reaching New Heights: Past, Present, and Future
One of Goler's missions is to support and revitalize the Goler Heights district in downtown Winston Salem and surrounding communities. Goler is especially focused on neighborhoods that are impoverished and have experienced generational disinvestment and a lack of economic activity. Goler CDC has successfully developed over 300 housing and commercial development units including a credit union and childcare facility. Goler has also been involved in a wide range of community services that meet local needs by working with those individuals that are most affected. Services and programs such as education, job training, health education, commercial development, workforce development, and other social programs are provided to the community with input from local residents. The development of these projects has an economic impact of more than $50M to the City of Winston-Salem while adding much-needed jobs in the local community.
