🚨 Updates in Buncombe County.
At this week's Board of Commissioners meeting, several major initiatives were approved that will shape the future of our community:
🏞️ Helene Recovery: More than $284,000 was awarded to build three flood-resilient, ADA-accessible boat launches at Bent Creek, Glen Bridge, and Hominy Creek, improving river access while strengthening recovery efforts.
🚲 Woodfin Greenways: Two greenway projects along the French Broad River are officially moving forward, creating more opportunities to walk, bike, and connect with the outdoors.
🏠Economic Growth: Southeastern Container is investing $31 million to expand its Buncombe County facility, bringing 12 new jobs and reinforcing the region's manufacturing sector.
From infrastructure and recreation to jobs and long-term investment, these projects are helping shape what's next for Buncombe County.
