Greensboro Needs to Slow Down on Rural Expansion

Recently, the Town of Stokesdale is seeing life when it comes to developers who want to put new housing and businesses there. Given the growth of Guilford County, that’s inevitable; however, the town is working hard to see that new development doesn’t lead to traffic problems, urban sprawl and the destruction of the town’s curb appeal.

Greensboro has long been a vibrant city, but the rapid expansion into our rural areas threatens the very essence of what makes our community special. As urban development encroaches on peaceful, pastoral landscapes, residents are left grappling with noise, traffic, and overcrowded services. It’s time to pause and listen to the voices of those who cherish their rural way of life. Join me in advocating for a balanced approach to growth that prioritizes sustainability and respects our unique heritage. Together, we can ensure Greensboro thrives without sacrificing the values that define our community.

Greensboro Police Struggle to Address Homelessness Without Adequate Support
