Greensboro Downtown Performing Arts Center Community Forums

Via Ed Cone:

"Community forums on the proposed Greensboro Downtown Performing Arts Center are scheduled for Thursday 3/29 from 11:30 AM-1 PM and 6-7:30 PM at Elm Street Center's Regency Room; Saturday 4/21 from 12 –1:30 PM and 3:30 – 5:00 PM at Holy Trinity's Haywood Duke room; and Thursday 5/24 from 7:30 – 9 AM, 12:00 -1:30 PM and 6 -7:30 PM back at Elm Street Center."

I urge Greensboro's residents to ask the GPAC Citizen Engagement Committee the following questions: Why have other Greensboro communities been left out as potential locations for the Greensboro Performing Arts Center? Do you not know of the existence of the rest of Greensboro? Do Greensboro communities outside of downtown not deserve amenities paid for by all of Greensboro's taxpayers? When is the City of Greensboro going to live up to its responsibilities to the rest of Greensboro?

You'll notice they don't actually list the address of the Elm Street Center. It's as if they're hoping no one will show up.

Directions to the Regency Room 203 South Elm Street, Greensboro, NC 27401 Telephone 336-230-1588

Update: Ed mentions in the comments to his original post that it was he who omitted the addresses and not GPAC2012. The following dates and times are scheduled for public input.

March 29: 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6 to 7 p.m, Regency Room, Elm Street Center, 203 S. Elm St. Free parking is available in the deck behind the Elm Street Center; enter deck from Davie Street.

April 21: Noon to 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 to 5 p.m., Haywood Duke Room, Holy Trinity Episcopal Church, 607 N. Greene St.

May 24: 7:30 to 9 a.m., noon to 1:30 p.m. and 6 to 7:30 p.m., Regency Room, Elm Street Center, 203 S. Elm St.

The poster says, "Voices Welcome Here."

Update 2: It seems that Action Greensboro also "forgot" the address of the public meetings when sending their e-mails. Coincidence?
