Another Battle Against Overdevelopment: Stop Rezoning at Pisgah Church Rd & Willoughby Blvd

STOP REZONING AT PISGAH CHURCH RD AND WILLOUGHBY BLVD

Another battle is brewing in New Irving Park as developer BJ Johnson seeks to rezone 1201 Pisgah Church Rd, cramming up to eight housing units onto a modest 0.86-acre lot.

Just two years ago, we successfully fought against a similar overdevelopment, and now we must unite once more to protect our neighborhood. Join us on February 17, 2025, at the Greensboro Zoning & Planning Commission Meeting to voice your opposition and stand up for the future of New Irving Park!
