The City of Greensboro is partnering with Cone Health to build the Windsor Chavis Nocho Community Complex (WCNCC).
“This opportunity to collaborate with Cone Health is an example of the benefits to public-private partnerships,” said Interim City Manager Chris Wilson.The WCNCC concept represents a new approach to public service delivery that recognizes the need to be in community and easily accessible.”
Cone Health will contribute $5 million to the project.
“This contribution towards the city’s capital needs will allow our most vulnerable community members to access health and wellness services like never before,” said Dr. Mary Jo Cagle, CEO of Cone Health. “Cone Health shares the City’s commitment to healthy communities. Combined with our recently announced investments in health equity, this partnership will create new opportunities for improved health outcomes for those residents of east Greensboro.”
The 65,000-square-foot facility is described as a “one-of-a-kind multi-functional space”.
Work will include replacing existing restrooms and upgrading a multi-purpose field to regulation size, relocating playground equipment with an innovative nature play area, adding a full-size covered basketball pavilion, amphitheater, wide pathways, relaxation area including hammock poles, additional parking, sustainable landscaping, and stormwater control devices.
The site will feature multiple community gathering areas with Bosque seating, picnic tables, bench seating, a shade structure, and lighting throughout.
