GREENSBORO, N.C. (WGHP) — Empty apartments in East Greensboro could get new life soon.
“We welcome a change. I would love to see somebody back there living. Right now, it is an eyesore,” said Jennifer Thompson, who lives nearby.
The property is on John Dimrey Drive just off of East Gate City Boulevard. Earlier this year, the City of Greensboro requested proposals to create affordable housing on the land.
Now, the city has five proposals on the table that will soon be passed off to the city council to make a decision.
The full plans are not available to the public. According to city staff, there are a variety of changes that might happen. Some of the changes include tearing all the buildings down to start fresh. Other changes would mean would mean renovating the buildings already there.
Some neighbors tell FOX8 that they don’t care what it is. They just want to see it change.
“I’m going to be hopeful that something good will turn out of it,” Thompson said.
For more than 20 years, Thompson has seen changes at the property.
