High Point Zoning Extension Decision Delayed
GREENSBORO The City of High Point must await a decision on extending zoning controls beyond the current one mile limit. Guilford County Commissioners tabled the request, amid concerns over representation for residents outside High Point who would be governed by the city. Commissioners urged that residents be represented by elected officials, noting Greensboro’s prior county representation. The proposal seeks to extend High Point zoning authority beyond its present fringe, aligning with an identifiable boundary, while city officials argue the area is more integrated with High Point for business purposes.
