Economic Development

The Economic Development Office oversees all City economic development activities, provides support services to Greensboro businesses, and serves as a liaison between City government and the business community.

Our services, programs and one-on-one assistance demonstrate our commitment to attracting, retaining and expanding businesses of all sizes.

Greensboro is seeing new growth and revitalization with a range activity throughout the community: revitalization of the central business district, an Atlantic Coast Conference Hall of Champions, the Greensboro Aquatic Center, joint millennial campuses for NC A&T State University and UNCG, and $5.8 million in EPA and HUD grants to redevelop the 13-acre brownfield site along South Elm Street.
