The Inside Scoop

Meetings, meetings, meetings!

Guilford County has a few meetings coming up this week, and two could help guide the future of economic development policy in the county for years to come.

It all begins tomorrow with a work session for commissioners to take up the county's latest economic development policy proposal.

This would not supplant the current policy, but instead be an alternative policy, if approved. But some commissioners and others have critiqued the plan.

After the Wednesday work session, commissioners meet Thursday.

The big potential news here is a possible incentive - one that would use the current plan requiring job addition and investment standards - could go to a company called Ameritox after commissioners hold a public hearing on the idea at 5:30 p.m.

But before all of that, the commissioners will hold a work session on a space study at 3:30 p.m. that could cost millions but also save county staff time and money. We'll have more on that as time goes on and the presentation on the plan goes before commissioners.
