The N&R reports on two great steps forward for downtown Greensboro.
On behalf of Action Greensboro, The Weaver Foundation is purchasing the 4.3 acre Duke Power site on North Church Street @ Friendly Ave. for an undisclosed amount, “(b)ut it is being sold at a very favorable price…” according to a Duke Power representative. There is speculation about how the land will be used, including: a concert hall, expansion of the adjacent Children’s Museum, and – perhaps an IMAX theatre which would create a complex similar to Charlotte’s Discovery Place.
The Ole Asheboro Neighborhood has been working on their master plan for nearly a decade. Today’s article gives us a glimpse of the Neighborhood’s vision (PDF file) for itself. Approval of these plans will come before City Council early next month. It should sail right through… the plans are wonderful.
