N&R reports an Atlanta-based developer is looking at what is described as “probably the most sought-after undeveloped retail corner in Greensboro” —-the corner of Friendly Avenue and Hobbs Road.
But previous development plans —-which possibly would have brought Trader Joe’s to Gboro –have met with opposition from nearby residents:
(Attorney Tom) Terrell said he and the developers have met twice with neighborhood groups.
But they haven’t met with Friendly Coalition, which plans to study Halpern’s proposal this weekend.
Scott Kinsey, a co-chairman of the Friendly Coalition, said he can’t speak for the group until after the meeting.
“It’s obvious the neighbors around there don’t want to see this rezoned, and I would hope the Planning Board and the City Council will take to heart what the residents have to say,” Kinsey said.
Stay tuned.
