Vacant At-Large City Council Seat Applications

Applications for City Council - January 28, 2025

The appointment process for Greensboro’s City Council At-Large seat presents a significant challenge and responsibility for the current City Council. With over 40 applicants, the decision is not just about filling a vacancy but selecting a candidate who has the time, dedication, and expertise to make a meaningful impact on our city.

The City Council must carefully evaluate each applicant’s ability to provide thoughtful leadership, drawing on years of business experience and community engagement to help guide Greensboro through its growth and evolving needs. This decision is critical, as it will shape the future of our city and influence the trust citizens place in their leaders. While some candidates may bring strong qualifications and a deep understanding of Greensboro’s challenges, others may lack the experience needed for such a vital role. The Council must prioritize appointing a leader who offers a common-sense approach to fostering economic growth, ensuring public safety, and addressing the unique needs of our neighborhoods.
