Blasts from the (recent) past
The Guilford County Commissioners will meet Thursday night and you can get your official score card (the agenda) by clicking here.
Loyal readers of Inside Scoop (Hi Mom!) will recognized two of the items.
We wrote about a zoning case on Alamance Church Road that would allow for a convenience store near Alamance Elementary School. The county planning board voted to allow the store but neighbors have appealed the case to the county commissioners.
It's the only public hearing item of the night.
But don't ignore the commissioners' consent agenda, those items considered uncontroversial and usually handled with just one vote.
On the consent agenda this week is Commissioner Paul Gibson's push for a legacy fund, the idea of levying an extra 5-cent sales tax to create a $1 billion capital account that would be used for projects 20 years from now. Item I-C5 would send the concept to the School of Government in Chapel Hill for study.
We wrote about one staff member's evaluation of the plan here.
There are other fun tidbits on the agenda, so go and read it for yourself and tell us what catches your attention.
