CONTEXT: Hopewell, located on the site of the former Bloomington Hospital, is one of the few housing developments in which the City is directly involved.
Flintlock LAB is a nationally recognized firm that helps cities implement community-focused housing solutions. The firm’s work on Hopewell reimagines the area as a place for diverse housing types and incomes, reflecting Bloomington’s character and commitment to incremental, inclusive growth.
Hopewell will directly relieve housing pressure by adding homes where demand is highest: in the City’s core, near jobs, transit, and amenities.
