In an increasingly fast-paced and impersonal world, Greensboro stands out as a city that still cherishes the importance of community, connection, and family. It’s where neighbors know each other by name, children play safely in their neighborhoods, and families gather for shared experiences. Nicky Smith, a proud husband, father, and long-standing community leader, is running for Greensboro City Council to preserve and strengthen the qualities that make our city special.

Nicky’s life has always been rooted in family and faith. As a successful business owner for over 45 years, he has not only created jobs and opportunities for others. Still, he has also prioritized building a company culture that reflects his Christian values—integrity, kindness, and a commitment to uplifting those around him. His leadership has always been about more than profit; it’s been about people. This same approach is what Nicky wants to bring to Greensboro’s future.

Keeping Greensboro Family-Friendly

While larger cities like Charlotte and Raleigh have seen explosive growth, they’ve also faced the challenges that come with it: overcrowded infrastructure, skyrocketing housing costs, and a loss of the close-knit feel that families cherish. Nicky believes Greensboro’s strength lies in its ability to grow responsibly without losing the charm and community spirit that sets it apart.

“I want Greensboro to remain a place where families can thrive, where children feel safe, and where businesses want to invest because they see the values of our community,” Nicky says. “This city doesn’t need to be a bigger Charlotte or Raleigh. It needs to be the best Greensboro it can be.”

For Nicky, this means focusing on policies and initiatives that prioritize families and smart growth:

• Supporting Safe and Connected Neighborhoods: Investing in parks, community centers, and recreational spaces that unite families and strengthen neighborhoods.
• Encouraging Smart Growth: Promoting responsible development that enhances Greensboro’s family-friendly character without overburdening infrastructure or losing the small-town charm.
• Strengthening Education and Opportunities for Youth: Partnering with schools, churches, and local organizations to ensure every child has access to quality education and extracurricular activities that build character and skills for the future.
• Preserving Community Values: Encouraging civic engagement and neighborly connections that remind us of our shared responsibility for one another.

Faith as a Guiding Principle

Nicky’s vision for Greensboro isn’t just about policies—it’s about values. As a man of strong Christian faith, Nicky’s decisions are guided by compassion, fairness, and service to others. He believes in leading by example and creating a city where all families can feel supported and welcomed regardless of their background.

“Faith teaches us to care for one another, to work for the greater good, and always to strive to leave the world better than we found it,” Nicky shares. “That’s the kind of leadership I want to bring to Greensboro—leadership that lifts everyone.”
