Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle and Greensboro native DJ Reader is investing in affordable housing in Greensboro.

Reader purchased three lots in south Greensboro and plans to build low-cost homes.

“It’s a huge project, but it’s a big deal,” he said Friday. “We just want to do as many as we can, trying to buy the lots and get plans in motion. We’re just going to keep buying them up, and there’s really no limit to it.”
