PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD
2025-482 Public Comment Period
A Public Comment Period will be held on the first Monday of the
regular City Council meeting schedule at 5:30 p.m. or as soon
thereafter as reasonably possible following recognitions, awards,
and presentations. Our policy states persons may speak on any
item not on the agenda.
• Persons who have signed the register to speak shall be
taken in the order in which they are listed. Others who
wish to speak and have not signed in will be taken after
those who have registered.
• Persons addressing City Council are asked to limit their
comments to 3 minutes.
• Citizens will be asked to come to the podium, state their
name and address and the subject(s) on which they will
comment.
• If a large number of people are present to register
concerns about the same subject, it is suggested that they
might be acknowledged as a unified group while a
designated speaker covers the various points. This helps
to avoid repetition while giving an opportunity for people
present with the same concerns to be recognized.

GENERAL BUSINESS AGENDA
G-1) 2025-479 Public Hearing Regarding Economic Incentives for Project
Ticket
City Council is requested to conduct a public hearing and
consider a request from Project Ticket to authorize performance-
based incentives for a redevelopment and artist studio project at
2605 Sinclair Street in the amount of $300,000 over a three-year
period and authorize the appropriate City Official(s) to execute all
necessary documents.
Mayor Pro Tem Moore opened the public hearing at 6:05 p.m.
Economic Development Director Peter Bishop presented Project Ticket, an expansion
proposed by an existing High Point industry owned by an Irish holding company. The
project involves manufacturing RFID labels and includes an estimated $30 million
investment in new machinery and equipment and approximately $900,000 in
renovations to an existing 40,000-square-foot building at 2506 Sinclair Avenue. The
project is expected to create 99 new jobs with an average annual wage of $62,250,
exceeding the Guilford County average.
Staff recommends a local incentive of $300,000 over three years, consistent with the
Council-approved Job Creation and Building Upfit Policy. Mr. Bishop noted that the
company is evaluating competing sites in France and Vermont and intends to finalize a
location decision by year-end. The site is served by City water and sewer and Duke
Energy for electric service.
In response to Council questions, Mr. Bishop stated that the existing warehouse will
not be relocated; the company will repurpose portions of its current three-building
complex and expand operations into the renovated building.
