Celebrating Community Transformation at the Prichard Centennial Residential Reveal in Huntington, WV

A New Era for Huntington: The Prichard Centennial Residential Reveal

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — On December 4, 2025, the vibrant community of Huntington will witness an important celebration at the Prichard Centennial Residential Reveal. This event, hosted by Cornerstone Community Development, in collaboration with Winterwood, CVS Health, and local organizations, marks a significant milestone in the redevelopment of the iconic Prichard building at 601 9th Street.

The day will commence at 1:30 PM, where stakeholders and the public can explore the newly revitalized residential spaces within the Prichard building. This renovation is not merely about restoring a historic piece of architecture; it symbolizes a collective effort aimed at enhancing community wellbeing and expanding housing options for seniors.

"The Prichard has always held a special place in Huntington's history," stated Nikki Thomas, President of Cornerstone Community Development. She emphasizes the project's dual focus on preserving the past while nurturing a brighter future for the community. The renovation will not only beautify the area but will also contribute to downtown revitalization.

CVS Health has played a pivotal role in this transformation, with an impressive investment exceeding $17 million dedicated to the project's affordable senior housing component. The company recognizes the crucial link between housing and health, aiming to create safe, affordable living conditions for the community's seniors. This initiative aligns with CVS Health’s commitment to ensuring that everyone has access to quality healthcare and stable living conditions.

"Housing symbolizes more than just shelter; it stands for dignity and wellbeing," remarks Don Mazza, Chief Medicare Officer at Aetna, a subsidiary of CVS Health. His statement resonates with the company's history of investing over $21 million in affordable housing projects within West Virginia, contributing to the creation or preservation of over 800 housing units statewide.

The event derives its significance from a philosophy that sees the enhancement of living spaces as a pathway to improving lives. Mike Hynes, the CEO of Winterwood, reinforces this narrative, stating, "Revitalizing the Prichard is a collaborative endeavor. It’s about infusing new life into a beloved building with collective dedication."

As Huntington gears up to celebrate this monumental occasion, the public is invited to engage in the experience and witness firsthand the collaboration between local organizations working towards a common goal. The event promises not only informative discussions and presentations but also opportunities for media coverage and community engagement.

In preparation for the December 4th event, community members are encouraged to come out, bring their families, and connect with the individuals and organizations paving the way towards a more inclusive and vibrant Huntington.
