What: Guilford County commissioners meeting
When: 5:30 p.m. Thursday
Where: Old County Courthouse, 301 W. Market St., Greensboro
On TV: Cable channel 13 in Greensboro and other areas of Guilford County outside High Point; cable channel 8 in High Point.
What’s going on? Commissioners will discuss a new plan to provide county money to businesses that add value to their property. Guilford County set $1.3 million aside in the 2009-10 budget while the plan was drafted, and now they’re ready to take it up before the public. Whether the money is an incentive or a tax rebate is a subject of debate among commissioners.
Want to be heard? Speakers can address the board on nonagenda items regarding county business for three minutes at the start of the meeting. A sign up sheet will be available near the lectern.

What’s next? A majority of commissioners have said they support the incentive policy, but some commissioners say the discussion may continue on to another work session. Commissioners are next scheduled to meet Sept. 17.
