City of Winston-Salem

The city of Winston-Salem is finalizing its federal legislative priorities for the next calendar year.  The 2024 Federal Action Plan outlines several issues city officials think should be prioritized by federal legislators. The plan organizes those issues into eight categories, including affordable housing, public safety, and public infrastructure. 

Originally built in 1929, the facility was the first bottling plant designed by Coca-Cola architects. Its new owner plans to convert to restaurant and event space.

Repairs at Crystal Towers face a possible delay as an additional part is needed for one of its two elevators.

According to a 2018 study, there is a shortage of more than 16,000 affordable rental homes in the city. Officials voted in a committee meeting in October to allow city staff to research developing a housing trust fund.

Winston-Salem and Forsyth County leaders are asking the public for input on their next strategic plan. 

Forsyth County's Historic Resources Commission has launched a new online tool to identify former Green Book locations in Winston-Salem.

Fourteen students from Winston-Salem/Forsyth Schools gathered in the Parkland High School media center Thursday evening for the city's annual High School Race Relations Forum. 

The facility provides a welcoming space for individuals in the queer community. Board of Directors Chair Cindia Gonzalez says the center receives visitors from Winston, surrounding counties, and even rural areas.

The Winston-Salem City Council will vote tonight on whether to spend an additional $1.6 million to upgrade Truist Stadium.
