Planning Board Meets, Entrepreneurs Gather, Business Summit Ahead in Greensboro
Greensboro, NC – March 13, 2026 – City leaders meet today as entrepreneurs connect downtown and Guilford College plans a major business summit.
Greensboro is wrapping up a busy week of civic meetings and business networking, with more activity ahead as March continues.
Planning Board Meets Today
The Guilford County Planning Board is scheduled to meet today, March 13, as part of its regular 2026 meeting calendar. The board reviews zoning requests, development proposals, and long-range planning matters that help guide growth across Greensboro and surrounding communities.
While the meetings can feel procedural, they play an important role in shaping how neighborhoods change over time. Proposed subdivisions, rezoning cases, and other development plans often make an early stop before the Planning Board prior to moving on to elected officials for final decisions.
For residents keeping an eye on growth in their area, posted agendas and public meeting notices offer a window into what projects may be coming next.
Entrepreneurs Connect at “Launch to Success”
On Thursday morning, small business owners and aspiring entrepreneurs gathered at The Nussbaum Center for Entrepreneurship for the “Launch to Success” event hosted by Piedmont Business Capital.
The free session focused on practical guidance — from understanding lending basics to improving loan readiness and exploring available capital options. Organizers aimed to give local entrepreneurs direct access to financial professionals and clear steps for strengthening their businesses.
As Greensboro continues to grow its small business base, events like this serve as hands-on support for founders navigating funding questions and planning their next stage of expansion.
Business Leaders Look Ahead to Summit
Later this month, Guilford College will host its 2026 Business Summit on March 27. The event will focus on managing uncertainty in a global economy, bringing together leaders from manufacturing, technology, and government sectors.
The summit is designed to spark conversations about resilience and collaboration — themes that resonate locally as companies respond to shifting markets and workforce demands. By convening leaders across industries, the college hopes to create space for shared insight and forward-looking strategies.
Together, these meetings and events reflect a city balancing day-to-day planning decisions with broader conversations about economic growth and long-term stability.
