Guilford County approves $15 million ARPA grant for Windsor Chavis NoCo Community Center in Greensboro
Summary
The Guilford County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to authorize a $15 million ARPA-funded interlocal agreement with the City of Greensboro to support design and construction of the Windsor Chavis NoCo Community Center and to secure space and service agreements for county staff.
Guilford County commissioners unanimously approved a $15,000,000 interlocal agreement with the City of Greensboro on Tuesday to fund design and construction of the Windsor Chavis NoCo Community Center.
County staff said the project, to be located at 1601 East Gate City Boulevard, will offer recreation, health and wellness, library services and county program navigation in one facility. "The interlocal agreement portion of this item will provide the city of Greensboro with $15,000,000 to use towards design and construction cost for the facility," county staff said during the presentation.
The memorandum of agreement approved alongside the ARPA funding defines how the county will use approximately 750 square feet of office space designed for social services and public-health staff and allows for county navigation services in the facility lobby. Staff told the board the facility concept and design were informed by outreach involving more than 4,000 residents and that the center is projected to open in spring 2027.
County leaders framed the vote as an investment in service access. "We recommend approval of the interlocal agreement and memorandum agreement with the city of Greensboro," the presenting county official said, adding staff would continue collaboration on space needs.
The board voted to approve the agreement by unanimous voice vote. The memorandum assigns responsibilities for future use of county space; staff said the city will manage construction and the county will govern its use of assigned office space after opening.
Next steps include finalizing the memorandum and continued planning between county and city staff; the board asked staff to be available for follow-up questions as design and construction advance.
