UPDATE: This meeting has been canceled. It will be rescheduled. More information to come on the new meeting.

Many Greensboro properties are vacant, abandoned, or tax delinquent. The amount of money owed in taxes, liens, and property repairs is more than the properties are worth.

That’s why the City’s Housing and Neighborhood Development Department (HND) is moving toward community land trusts (CLT). CLTs are a way to free up these properties and provide affordable housing for current and future generations.

HND staff want to talk with Greensboro residents, lenders, and community partners about CLT during two Zoom meetings:

• 10 am to 12 noon, Wednesday, March 29. Register online.
• 6-8 pm, Wednesday, March 29. Register online.

The initial focus for the City’s CLT are:

Redevelopment Focus Areas
Eastside Park
Ole Asheboro
Willow Oaks

Reinvestment Focus Areas
Dudley Heights
Glenwood
Kings Forest
Mill District
Random Woods

Five in-person meetings were held March 15-16 throughout Greensboro. Learn more at www.greensboro-nc.gov/CLT.
