New developments could replace downtown Greensboro parking decks
Greensboro City Councilman Zack Matheny said Tuesday's city council meeting will be one for the history books.
City leaders are expected to discuss the future of two parking decks in downtown Greensboro. One of them is the Bellemeade Street Parking Deck.
According to a city council agenda, when it comes to the Bellemeade Street deck, which is already being demolished, city leaders will talk about authorizing an agreement with the Caroll Companies to purchase the property for $1.85 million.
'And then they would pave the property so parking spaces would be there. But also within five years, they would invest a minimum $50 million project,' Matheny said
It's a project that would be a full redevelopment of the property. Less than half a mile away, sits the Davie Street Parking Deck.
Matheny said city leaders are negotiating with BSC Holdings Incorporated.
As part of that agreement, the High Point-based property company would assume full responsibility for demolition and future site development, saving the city $1.4 million.
'And then they would agree to do at minimum, a $12 million project. So two major new projects in downtown Greensboro,' Matheny said
Right now, a plan for both developments hasn't been announced yet, but Matheny believes it'll include new businesses.
'I think you're going to have a lot more residential. You'll have some hospitality, retail, and it just shows further that downtown Greensboro continues to grow,' Matheny said.
FOX8 reached out to the Caroll Companies, and a spokesperson said the company has an interest in how the Bellemeade Street deck property is redeveloped since it has adjoining property.
FOX also reached out to BSC Holdings Incorporated, but we have not heard back from them.
Tuesday's city council Meeting starts at 5:30 p.m.

Hawaiian Airlines to cancel only direct flight to Boston
'Despite our team's best efforts, soft post-pandemic travel demand from Asia combined with various market challenges have persisted in Seoul, as well as in Fukuoka and Boston,' Hawaiian Airlines CEO Joe Sprague said. The airline began service to Boston in 2019 and currently operates four direct, non-stop flights between Logan International Airport and Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport each week. Advertisement Logan International Airport did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Hawaiian Airlines was the only airline that offered direct flights between Logan International Airport in Boston and Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, according to the 'We remain committed to continuing to provide robust Hawaiian Airlines service between Asia and Hawai'i through our nonstop Japan flights, and via one-stop connections to and from Incheon and beyond with our global partner airlines,' Sprague said. The suspension is set to go into effect Nov. 19, when all direct flights between Boston and Honolulu will cease operation. After the suspension, Boston-based travelers will have to arrange for connecting flights on their route to Honolulu and the state of Hawai'i. Advertisement 'Between Honolulu and Boston, guests can connect daily on Alaska Airlines' flights via Seattle, Portland, San Francisco and San Diego,' Hawaiian Airlines said in the statement. Travelers who booked Hawaiian Airlines flights between Honolulu and Boston after the Nov. 19 suspension will be reaccommodated with another flight to their location or receive a refund, the airline said in the statement announcing the suspension.

Druze demand self-determination in largest protest held since deadly clashes in Syria
BEIRUT — Hundreds of people demonstrated in Syria's southern city of Sweida and elsewhere Saturday to demand the right to self-determination for the Druze minority, in the largest protests to take place since deadly clashes in the area last month. Some of the protesters waved Israeli flags to thank Israel for intervening on their side during heavy clashes in mid-July between Druze militias and armed Bedouin tribal groups alongside allied government forces. Saturday's demonstration comes as Syria grapples with deep ethnic and religious divisions after the collapse of the Assad family rule in December. The transition has proved fragile, with renewed violence erupting in March along the coast and in July in Sweida, a city with a mostly Druze population, highlighting the continued threat to peace after years of civil war. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Syrian war monitor, said the protesters expressed their rejection of the interim central government in Damascus and demanded that those responsible for atrocities against Druze be brought to justice. The observatory said some of the protesters called on Israel to intervene to support their demand of self-determination. Rayyan Maarouf, who heads the activist media collective Suwayda 24, said that Saturday's demonstration in Sweida was the largest since last month's clashes and that there were similar rallies in areas including the nearby towns of Shahba and Salkhad. He added that this is the first time people protested under the theme of self-determination. 'This is an unprecedented change for the Druze in Syria,' Maarouf told the Associated Press. Clashes erupted July 13 between Druze militias and local Sunni Muslim Bedouin tribes in Sweida. Government forces then intervened, nominally to restore order, but ended up essentially siding with the Bedouins against the Druze. Israel intervened in defense of the Druze, launching dozens of airstrikes on convoys of government fighters and striking the Syrian Defense Ministry headquarters in central Damascus. Atrocities were committed during the clashes that left hundreds of people dead. The new interim government set up a committee last month tasked with investigating attacks on civilians in the sectarian violence in the country's south. It is supposed to issue a report within three months. The Druze religious sect began as a 10th century offshoot of Ismailism, a branch of Shiite Islam. More than half of the roughly 1 million Druze worldwide live in Syria. Most other Druze live in Lebanon and Israel, including in the Golan Heights, which Israel captured from Syria in the 1967 Mideast War and annexed in 1981.
