High Point City Council Meeting | 8-17-26 | 5:30 p.m.

The City of High Point held a regular City Council meeting on August 17, 2026. The council adopted the agenda with a change to postpone a public hearing on a vested rights certificate. The meeting included presentations recognizing support for the National Guard and Reserve as well as honoring local educators. The council approved the consent agenda and conducted public hearings on demolition ordinances for two properties at 312 Woodberry Street and 1913 South Elm Street. Both properties had longstanding code violations with no substantial repairs made despite prior notices. The council approved demolition orders but allowed a 30-day period for property owners to demonstrate progress by obtaining permits and beginning repairs to potentially delay demolition. The meeting concluded with announcements about transit planning and upcoming council meetings.
