Greensboro enjoys gently rolling hills and is midway between the mountains of North Carolina and its beaches to the east. A view of the city from its highest building—the Lincoln Financial tower—reveals that the town is populated with large numbers of green trees, giving perhaps another dimension to its name. The town is well-situated in terms of travel, with Interstates 40, 85, and the soon-to-be-built I-73 passing through its borders. (Information provided by Wikipedia .)
If you are looking at visiting, Greensboro certainly offers the best to its visitors.

Greensboro Named One of 93 “Playful City USA” Communities
GREENSBORO, NC – (July 14) – The City of Greensboro has been honored by the nonprofit organization KaBOOM! as one of the nation’s top 93 communities that has taken innovative approaches to making play a priority for the health and well-being of its children.
The award, called “Playful City USA,” recognizes communities that create and implement programs to positively impact childhood wellness, public safety and quality of life. KaBOOM! selected Greensboro for a number of Parks and Recreation Department initiatives, including encouraging neighborhood groups to participate in park upgrades by attending neighborhood association meetings, increasing the number of Adopt-a-Park participants, and promoting its Park Watch Program. Learn more about these programs at www.greensboro-nc.gov/regionalparks.
“Through the Playful City USA program, Greensboro serves as a role model to other communities across the country,” says Mayor Yvonne J. Johnson. “Other cities and towns will examine our initiatives and look to replicate them in their communities. This recognition is a true honor and all Greensboro residents can take pride in knowing that we are making a difference for our children.”
The KaBOOM! vision is to provide a great place to play within walking distance of every child. Playful City USA communities create best practices that enhance children’s well-being by increasing the opportunity for play.

City Submits Economic Stimulus Priority List to State Senate Committee |
Contact: Jim Collins
Phone: 373-2105
GREENSBORO, NC -- (March 25, 2009) – The City of Greensboro has provided a retooled economic stimulus priority list to the Select Senate Committee for Economic Recovery. This committee was formed late last week and held its first official meeting yesterday in Raleigh. Greensboro Senator Don Vaughan is a member of that committee.
The retooled list includes 62 projects Greensboro City Council has approved as priority projects for economic stimulus funding, as well as additional projects. As new information has become available about economic stimulus funding, City of Greensboro department heads have identified additional projects that may qualify for funding as part of the stimulus package.
Governor Bev Perdue’s budget recommendations on March 17 reportedly used some of the economic stimulus funding as part of her balanced budget proposal. The Senate committee and a House committee will take up the task of evaluating the Governor’s recommendation for stimulus funding. That review may reflect different priorities than those of the Governor. Some stimulus money has already been committed, for example, highway funding as announced in February will remain in place.
