Myers Park Presbyterian donates $1 million to help build Habitat townhomes: Wednesday, March 16

The owners of Brooks' Sandwich House and Myers Park Presbyterian Church are teaming up to build more than a dozen townhomes in east Charlotte to help address the city's affordable housing crisis.

In 2018, one year before Scott Brooks was shot and killed at the beloved NoDa restaurant during an armed robbery, he and his brother David donated a 2-acre tract of land on East Lane Drive, just off W.T. Harris Boulevard, to Habitat for Humanity of the Charlotte Region. Habitat drew plans to maximize the use of the property to build 17 affordable townhomes on a lot that would accommodate eight or fewer freestanding single-family homes.

“It’s going to be such a boost for people-- hardworking people-- like ourselves and I think it’s going to be something that’s appreciated and I can sleep well at night knowing I’ve done my part," David Brooks said.
