The plans look nice, the parking eats a ton of that land tho. It only took them 12 years to start developing the land, Im afraid to know how long the actual build will take... Hopefully because the city of Greensboro is peeking over their shoulder they'll put some pep in their step. Hopefully there will be some kind of detailed timeline on this soon. lets bookmark this and revisit in another 12 years  |

Just saw an article that the House of Prayers has plans to build apartments on the land where the old Greensboro Post Office was located. They bought the land in 2007 and now plans to build apartments and retail shops on it. This could be a big plus for the community around A&T and Bennet. It will be right across from our new Engineering building.

So, I was curious about the name "Bailey Village" and did some digging and found the UHOP Properties website. They have properties in DC, Agusta GA, Charlotte, Philly, Boston, Harlem and Baltimore. here's the website for those interested |

Lots of potential! |

Speaking of Bennett...I heard it is not doing well at all. at. all. and I hate saying this...but if the school is not doing well, maybe A&T should consider purchasing land on its campus, if it is reasonable. |

A&T and Bennett are so historically linked...it would be nice if we could acquire the property and help maintain its HBCU roots. |

Should've joined as one school in like the 1940s.
One can't help but assume at some point in the near or far future that Bennett will be absorbed by A&T (unless UNCG or the UHOP gets there first).

bennett college is a better natural fit for a&t than the other local colleges because of its very close proximity to a&t as well as the historical relationship between the two schools. personally, i'd like to see bennett college remain viable in its own right. but if its inevitable that it won't survive, i'd prefer a&t to acquire that property...

Of course it's a better natural fit and a logical one at that. But, you know how it goes with stuff...  |
