Owner James Harris stresses community and government collaboration to tackle the challenge of attracting retailers to underserved areas.

This third attempt to revitalize the Heritage Plaza space addresses food insecurity affecting nearly 70% of Birmingham residents—and keeps dollars circulating locally, boosting the neighborhood economy.
