Guilford County Board of Commissioners Meeting 10-01-26

The Guilford County Board of Commissioners meeting on October 1, 2026, included two procurement- and funding-related actions. The board unanimously approved joining the statewide Commercial Property Assessed Capital Expenditure (C-PACE) program, which allows eligible commercial, agricultural, industrial, and multifamily property owners to obtain private financing for approved energy-efficiency, renewable-energy, resilience, and water-conservation improvements; the county will not provide public financing. The board also unanimously approved the consent agenda, which included a corrected interlocal agreement with the City of Greensboro for continued funding of a navigator position at the Family Justice Center. No contract award or vendor selection was identified.

The meeting also noted $8,638 in unallocated Juvenile Crime Prevention Council funds available to currently funded programs. Programs may submit requests by October 9, with funding recommendations scheduled for review and a vote on October 22. Speakers urged a longer moratorium on data-center development and a county clean-energy goal, but no related decision was taken at this meeting; commissioners said a six-month moratorium was expected to come before them on October 15. The board also unanimously denied a conditional rezoning request for property at 5731 Cobalt Church Road, citing consistency with the county’s rural land-use and farmland-preservation plans.
