On November 6, 2023, community members came together for a first glimpse at the future Africatown Welcome Center after a months-long collaborative design process. Since April, we’ve been working with Mott MacDonald to gather public input on the direction and design of what will become a beautiful public gathering and educational space in Africatown.
Since the City of Mobile first began pursuing a new Welcome Center in Africatown back in 2016, the idea was to create a community space that could serve as a first stop for tourists. Since then, the historic discovery of Clotilda’s wreckage has only amplified the need to give visitors from around the world a meaningful first impression of Africatown.
