Moving the line
Guilford County commissioners took a step Thursday toward resolving some lingering confusion about exactly where the Guilford-Alamance county line is.
The disagreement involves a fairly small slice of land that includes 27 parcels of property, but it has meant big headaches for some property owners.
Commissioner Carolyn Coleman said some property owners in the area have told her they have received tax bills from both counties. The line has also caused uncertainty about voting and school attendance.
Commissioners passed a resolution Thursday asking the state to survey the area. The results would then be used by the counties to come to a final agreement.
"I'm glad that we finally decided to deal with it," Coleman said.
