On the Agenda: High Point City Council

Tonight's council meeting is a busy one. There's the question of whether to give Legacy Classic Furniture $305,000 in incentives to build an $18 million distribution center in north High Point. Then there's the approval of Barrow Road I/Faith Properties of the Carolinas large mixed-use development, called Smithfield at Piedmont Crossing, that would be laid out in the style of a traditionl neighborhood. The development could bring as many as 557 residences to a 62-acre piece of property near Barrow Road.

What: High Point City Council
When: 4:45 p.m. (Public hearings start at 5:30) Tonight
Where: City Council Chambers, third floor, City Hall.

Jonathan,

Regarding the "Smithfield at Piedmont Crossing" neighborhood: where would the children attend school?

Jonathan,

The pdf finally opened, so I answered my own question. For others - this new development will add 255 new students to the already overcrowded Southwest elementary, middle, and high schools.

Unbelievable. I guess the School Board is already formulating a new busing plan for this.
