GREENSBORO, NC -- (April 1, 2011) – The City of Greensboro has scheduled a meeting at 7 pm, Thursday, April 7, at Leonard Recreation Center, 6324 Ballinger Rd., to discuss a proposed annexation. Residents and property owners in the annexation areas are invited to attend.

During the meeting, City staff will make a presentation and residents will have the opportunity to talk individually with representatives from multiple City departments.

Meanwhile, areas to the east are unpopulated portions of land along Boulder Road and Interstate 40, including a 330 acre parcel along E. Lee Street and Cedar Park Road.
