The N&R reports (unposted) that Greensboro’s Cottage Grove neighborhood has been targeted for revitalization, with funding via an EPA grant to be administered by Global Green USA.
‘Urbanism associate’ Hagu Solomon says Global Green will send a team of four ‘experts’ in environmental design to G’boro to consult neighborhood residents, city officials and representatives of local nonprofits. Neighborhood transformation plans include ‘ready access to public transportation, good jobs and recreation.’
As you can imagine, Greensboro city planners are all for this. Who wouldn’t be? But you have to wonder why the federal gov’t has to spend millions of dollars to do this, if the salaries aren’t first sucked up by the ‘urbanism expert associates.’
