Several municipal projects in Guilford County will get a boost from federal COVID-19 relief money. The county’s board of commissioners recently approved releasing a third round of funds from the American Rescue Plan Act. The $41 million pot of money is being allocated to six municipalities in Guilford County: Greensboro, Stokesdale, Oak Ridge, Pleasant Garden, Gibsonville, and Summerfield.
The Piedmont Land Conservancy ends 2020 on a high note: Last week the nonprofit tasked with preserving and protecting land closed a deal on a 115-acre tract that will provide a crucial link in the Piedmont Greenway corridor â an extensive trial thatâs expected to connect Greensboro and Winston-Salem, passing through Kernersville and Triad Park.
The tract is called Bandera Farms; itâs located along Reedy Fork Creek in Summerfield.
A mile of the Piedmont Greenway will pass through Bandera Farms; the rest of the property will be developed as a trails preserve, with a focus on equestrian trails.
The tract will also create additional buffers along Reedy Fork Creek, which supplies Greensboroâs drinking water.
