Latest site for Guilford County’s airport-area high school —-land in the far western portion of the county that’s been annexed by Kernersville. And K’ville doesn’t like it any better than High Point did when the Boylston Road site was floated.
Property development is not GCS’ strong suit:
The school board is frequently judged by how close it sites schools to where it has promised. Just ask the residents of southeast Guilford County, who have three times blocked the school board’s efforts to site an increasingly misnamed “southeast area elementary school” in McLeansville – hardly a location residents of southeast Guilford County consider the community school they were promised.
In the case of the “airport area high school,” it seems likely that the high school, if it is ever built, won’t be that close to the airport – which should have been obvious to the school system from the start, because properties near the airport are top-dollar land that the planning departments of all the surrounding towns and cities, as well as Guilford County, plan to use for tax- and job-generating industrial development.
K’ville’s best scenario for the land is an expansion of the FedEx sorting facility.
