I. Introduction
Leading Into New Communities, Inc. (“LINC”) is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization. LINC currently operates the L.I.T.E. Manhood program—a structured enrichment program designed for African American males to reduce barriers in education and/or employment. In 2021, the Wilmington City Council approved LINC’s request to acquire former Wilmington Fire Station 3, located at 3933 Princess Place Drive. LINC desires to renovate and redesign
the former fire station and create a residential academy for twelve young men between the ages of 15-18. The Hisan Polk Transformation Academy will provide education services for high school or GED completion, construction and/or technical training certificates, and general life training skills to its residents for 14 months.
