The City Planning Department’s 2023 summary of growth and development in Greensboro, called “Growing Greensboro,” is now available at www.greensboro-nc.gov/2023Infographic.

Key findings include:
• 5,062 potential housing units were approved in 2023 through rezoning and the annexation process throughout the city.
• That brings the three-year total of potential housing units approved from 2021-23 to nearly 16,000.
• 92 percent of the potential housing units approved were for multi-family residential units.

“More people will be calling Greensboro home over the next few years as these projects come out of the ground,” said City Planning Department Director Sue Schwartz. “We are truly ‘GreensBooming’ in every way.”
