 GREENSBORO, NC -- (April 24, 2009) – The City of Greensboro’s Department of Transportation (GDOT) will hold a public meeting to discuss improvements to Horse Pen Creek Road. The meeting will be held Thursday, April 30, from 5:30-7:30 pm at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, 2715 Horse Pen Creek Rd.

The public is invited to meet with members of the project team who will be available to discuss the project.

Feedback from this meeting will be used to develop the final recommended alternative, which will be presented at the next public meeting.
