FROM THE MAYOR
Welcome to Summerfield!
Located in the northwestern region of Guilford County, our town is blessed with open vistas, farmland and well-maintained neighborhoods and we are proud of the farms, open spaces and parks located within our thriving community. We have some of the best schools in the Guilford County Schools system and our students perform well in the classroom and in the sports arena.
Summerfield has a vibrant business community, well-represented by Summerfield Merchants Association (SMA). SMA members find many ways to give back to our community and the organization works in partnership with our local government. Another nonprofit, Summerfield Recreation Association, provides a variety of organized sports programs to our local youth.
Over 11,000 friendly and welcoming citizens live in Summerfield, which is the largest town in Guilford County.
We are proud of our history, which dates back to the Revolutionary War, and we look toward a promising future while honoring our past. Several projects we’ll be focusing on in 2023 are:
• pursue purchase of the historic Laughlin school property on Summerfield Road, for potential use as a town hall with ample space and parking for community meetings and gatherings
• construct a new dog park at Summerfield Community Park
• begin process of updating our Comprehensive Plan, adopted in 2010
• construct a Welcome to Summerfield sign on U.S. 220
• work on right of way progress for A&Y Greenway South project
• move plans forward for developing the 120-acre Bandera Farms property on Bunch Road
• continue exploring water supply options for a municipal water system
We invite you to visit our town and see why we are “Summerfield Proud.”
