A Missed Opportunity in Greensboro – The American Hebrew Academy Campus
With its state-of-the-art facilities, the 100-acre American Hebrew Academy campus in Greensboro stands as a stark reminder of missed opportunities. This dormant property could transform into a temporary haven for the city’s homeless during harsh winters, yet leadership has failed to act. As a candidate for Greensboro City Council District 4, I see this as a chance to address urgent local needs and foster goodwill. Let’s explore innovative solutions to repurpose this facility, turning it into a beacon of hope rather than a symbol of neglect. Together, we can build a brighter future for our community.
