County meetings
After working a light schedule for most of the summer, the Guilford County commissioners are getting ready to crank up their workload in September. Two upcoming meetings of note:
The Guilford County Prison Farm study committee will meet on Monday, Sept. 13, noon, at the Old County Courthouse, 301 W. Market St., Greensboro. The meeting will take place in the Blue Room.
The prison farm has been a subject of much debate for the commissioners and Sheriff BJ Barnes. Barnes has suggested ways in which to make it more profitable, including installing a golf driving range and selling certain rights related to streams that run through the property.
Two commissioners on the study committee, County Manager Willie Best and Barnes toured the farm last month. This month's meeting continues the committee's deliberations over what to do with the farm property. The committee will eventually make a recommendation to the full board.
Then, on Thursday Sept. 16, 6: 30 p.m. the entire Guilford County Board of Commissioners will meet for their regular business meeting. The final agenda for this meeting will be available on Friday, Sept. 10. That meeting will also take place at the Old County Courthouse, in the commissioner's meeting room.
