The One That Didn't Get Away!
Fishing event brings national attention to Greensboro.
Greensboro will host bass fishing’s biggest names on May 19-20 when the Bassmaster American Championship regional finals come to Lake Townsend. ESPN will be on hand to film the event that features a grand prize of $250,000. Fifty anglers will begin the contest at High Rock Lake on May 17. The Elite 50 will be cut to 12 anglers by Saturday at 6:15 am on Lake Townsend and only six anglers will make the cut for Sunday’s final round. The public is invited to attend both the event at Lake Townsend and the bass weigh-ins at the Coliseum. For more information, call Sue Davis at 282-0243.
Latham Park Sewer Work Begins
Work will help reduce sewer overflows.
Right-of-way construction for the new sanitary sewer line is now underway in the Latham Park area off Tankersley Drive. The existing sewer line is being replaced with a larger pipe to help reduce sewer overflows. Stakes in the park define the new sewer right-of-way, and some trees are flagged for removal. The tree work will take place first. Digging for the sewer replacement will begin in a few months. Once the digging begins, the work is expected to take about one year. For more information, call 412-6314.
Apply for the NeighborWoods Program
Keeping Greensboro green, one neighborhood at a time.
Neighborhoods are invited to apply for the 2007 NeighborWoods program. The program provides 
trees to Greensboro neighborhoods for planting to help replace those that have been damaged or lost. One neighborhood is chosen each year and residents help choose tree species, train volunteers, and select a tree-planting day. Applications are available on the City's website. The deadline to return applications is May 30.
