• Annexations and rezoning on the southern boundary of Greensboro.
  
  
• Providing adequate park facilities, green space, and increased trail connectivity.
  
  
• Stormwater management in green space-oriented around creeks.
  
  
• Property upkeep in commercial areas.
  
  
• Multifamily, highway-oriented commercial uses, and industrial uses associated with existing freeways.
  
  
• The desire for adequate retail, banking, and other services in many parts of the community.
