Revitalization in Fayetteville drives growth in Cumberland County

Starting April 2019, a Houston Astros minor-league franchise will play in a new $37.8 million, 4,800-seat baseball stadium on Hay Street in Fayetteville, a deal inked in 2016 when team president Reid Ryan, son of Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan, announced the team’s switch from the California League.

Ryan predicted the new agreement “will be part of a dynamic revitalization of downtown Fayetteville.” He was right.

Fayetteville’s first taste of pro baseball since the old Class A Cape Fear Crocs organization left in 2000 for Lakewood, N.J., has prompted more than $100 million in public and private investment toward downtown development.
