Two New Redistricting Plans Proposed

GREENSBORO, NC (April 25, 2011) – Greensboro City Councilmember Trudy Wade has proposed two plans that would redistrict the current City Council boundary lines. The recommendations come as City Council is expected to reconsider its vote to approve an earlier proposed redistricting plan, which occurred during its April 19 meeting.

The proposed Plan D impacts 4,583 residents and two precincts (G31, G56) while proposed Plan E affects 5,522 residents and four precincts (G31, G56, JEF1.2, JEF2.1). To view the proposals, visit www.greensboro-nc.gov/redistricting.
