Greensboro Redistricting Meeting Scheduled for March 14

GREENSBORO, NC (March 7, 2011) – A meeting to discuss Greensboro City Council  redistricting options is set for 5:30 pm, Monday, March 14, in Room 4 of the Greensboro Coliseum Special Events Center. Residents are invited to attend the meeting, hosted by City Councilmember Zack Matheny, to provide feedback and learn more about changes to Council’s district boundaries.

The redistricting comes as a result of updated population counts reported in the 2010 Census. The process requires shifting City precincts between districts in an effort to create the necessary population balance needed to meet redistricting criteria.
