County Commissioners' agenda
The Guilford County commissioners' meeting agenda for Sept. 16 is available at this link: http://www.co.guilford.nc.us/agenda.html. One item that may get a lot of attention is IV. C.: "Consider request for $25,000 from Greensboro Area Convention and Visitors Bureau and Greensboro Sports Commission for bringing track meet to Greensboro."
Sportswriter Jim Young reported in Thursday's News & Record about Greensboro's bid to lure the "Adidas Outdoor Championships" from Raleigh, where the event has been held for the past 11 years. This grant would be part of that effort. The meet would be held on N.C. A&T's Irwin Belk Track.
