Greensboro, NC — February 17, 2026 — Here’s a quick look at some of the most relevant news and happenings around the Gate City today.
Injury crash reported on N Murrow Boulevard
Greensboro police, sheriff’s deputies, fire crews, and EMS responded Sunday evening to a traffic crash with reported injuries on North Murrow Boulevard, according to emergency radio traffic. The call came in around 7:12 p.m., and the incident was classified as involving personal injury while first responders worked the scene.
Authorities have not yet released full details on how many vehicles or people were involved, or whether anyone was transported to the hospital. Drivers using corridors near downtown should continue to be cautious, as investigators often revisit serious crash scenes for follow-up work in the days after an incident.
Popular pizza chain shutters Greensboro location
A well-known regional pizza chain has closed its Greensboro restaurant, part of a pair of closures in North Carolina announced this week. The company described the Greensboro shutdown as a difficult decision after a review of its operations, but said it remains interested in future growth and potential franchise partners in the Triad.
The closure adds to a broader run of shakeups in the pizza business, with several national brands trimming underperforming stores. For Greensboro diners, the move means one fewer sit‑down pizza option, at least for now, while the company signals it may look for new locations in the region down the road.
County calendar: trees, jobs, taxes, and more
Guilford County’s events calendar is busy this week with several Greensboro-based programs. A multi-day annual tree seedling sale and a parks summer hiring event are both underway, offering residents a chance to stock up on plants and explore seasonal job opportunities. A tax reappraisal education session is also scheduled, aimed at helping property owners understand how new values are set and what that means for future bills.
Looking ahead, today’s schedule includes a lunchtime “Grow with Us” gardening program focused on indoor houseplants, and the county’s Board of Elections is set to hold a regular meeting that includes action on absentee ballot applications. Additional gardening workshops, civic meetings, and community events continue through late February.
City surplus vehicles headed to auction
The City of Greensboro is moving surplus trucks, equipment, and other fleet vehicles to an online rolling stock auction that opened yesterday and runs through February 25. The sale features items retired from public works and maintenance use, giving contractors, small businesses, and residents a chance to bid on used municipal equipment.
Interested buyers can preview the vehicles and gear in person on February 20 at a city facility on East Friendly Avenue. The auction is one of the city’s regular tools for clearing out older assets and recouping some costs before new equipment enters service.
Coming up: State GIS council meets at Barber Park
On Wednesday, state and local officials from across North Carolina will gather at Barber Park Event Center in Greensboro for the winter quarterly meeting of the North Carolina Geographic Information Coordinating Council. The group oversees priorities for mapping and geospatial data, which support everything from emergency response to road planning.
Holding the session in Barber Park brings additional visitors into southeast Greensboro and highlights the park’s role as more than just a recreation space, but also a regional meeting venue for statewide planning work.
