# High Point City Council Meeting | 11-2-26 | 5:30 p.m.

The High Point City Council’s regular meeting on November 2, 2026, included approval of a budget ordinance amendment for the Shops on Washington Street project. Council approved appropriating $200,000 from General Fund reserves as a 20% local match for a $1 million North Carolina state grant awarded to Business High Point in 2023, and authorized officials to execute the necessary documents. The funds will support redevelopment on Washington Street and four selected businesses—a beauty supply store, nutrition services provider, mental health group, and aesthetician—with the stated goals of supporting jobs, local commerce, and neighborhood revitalization. Council discussed the public-purpose and legal considerations of funding a nonprofit whose project includes both nonprofit- and for-profit-owned properties before the motion passed without opposition.

Other actions included approving the 2027 council meeting schedule and appointing Kathy Bull to the Library Board of Trustees. The meeting also included community recognitions and announcements, including the upcoming opening of a bond-funded active older adult center; no additional procurement award or purchasing decision was identified.
