Let’s work together for Greensboro’s future

My platform consists of these priorities for Greensboro.

Public Safety 👉

Public safety is my top priority. The rising murder rate has not only created a perception that Greensboro is a dangerous community but has also impacted the sense of security for residents, and we must take decisive action to change this narrative and ensure safety for all.

Affordable Housing and Community Development 👉

Affordable housing and equitable development are not just policy issues—they are about the quality of life for every Greensboro resident. I believe that by working together, we can create a city where growth benefits everyone, not just a select few.

Building a Stronger Economy 👉

Our economy must grow by creating opportunities for all and improving the quality of life for our neighbors. This requires supporting jobs, workforce training, university partnerships, small and large businesses, cutting red tape, improving transportation, and expanding housing options.

Engage, Support, and Grow Our Small Businesses 👉

I will prioritize empowering small businesses—the heartbeat of our community—by reducing red tape, expanding funding opportunities, and fostering growth through strategic initiatives to create jobs, drive innovation, and strengthen neighborhoods citywide.

Upon hearing the new 47 percent average property value increase this week, Alston was less committal. He said that the numbers could change between now and the end of the year; he pointed out that other commissioners may not go along with him; and he said the board will have to see where the county stands financially next year when the board puts a budget together.

When the County Raises Taxes, the City Pays the Price

Nicky Smith April 22, 2025

Guilford County’s looming property tax spike is set to impact every resident in Greensboro, whether you own a home or rent. With property values rising, many families could face tax increases of up to 47%. This isn’t just a county issue; it’s a city crisis that threatens our community’s stability. As your next City Councilmember, I will advocate for a revenue-neutral tax rate to protect our families from being squeezed further. Join me in demanding smarter budgeting and accountability from our local leaders. Together, we can ensure Greensboro remains a place where everyone can thrive.

Greensboro City Council Is Tone Deaf — It’s Time for the People to Speak Out November

Nicky Smith April 16, 2025

On April 15, 2025, Greensboro’s City Council delivered a slap in the face to over 2,000 residents of New Irving Park, siding with a developer against the very people they were elected to represent. Councilmember Zack Matheny passionately presented compelling arguments against the rezoning, yet his colleagues ignored the facts. Mayor Nancy Vaughan scolded concerned citizens instead of uniting them. As the council’s actions revealed a troubling disregard for public input, the community is left wondering: will November 2025 bring the change Greensboro desperately needs? It’s time to take back our city and elect leaders who truly listen.

Greensboro council approves New Irving Park townhome rezoning after residents voice concerns

Nicky Smith April 15, 2025

The Greensboro City Council recently approved a contentious rezoning that will allow up to eight new townhomes in the New Irving Park area, despite strong opposition from local residents. Concerns about neighborhood character, traffic safety, and drainage issues were voiced during the public hearing. Developer B.J. Johnson made concessions, reducing the number of units and limiting access points, but many council members, including resident Councilman Zack Matheny, argued the project would disrupt the community’s harmony. As the council voted 6-2 in favor, the debate over balancing housing needs with neighborhood integrity continues.
