Weigh In on the Ferry Road Land Use Plan

Your voice can help decide the future of an upcoming mixed-use, mixed-income housing project in Buncombe County. Buncombe County owns a 137-acre tract of land adjacent to the French Broad River and Pisgah National Forest and will use it to increase affordable housing opportunities, a priority that aligns with the 2025 Strategic Plan and community feedback. Later this year, the Buncombe County Board of Commissioners will decide between five potential scenarios for the County-owned land, and community input is an important part of that process. One way to provide input is the Ferry Road Project survey which only takes about five minutes to complete and will provide valuable insight on the future of this property. Buncombe County is also hosting a virtual meeting about potential plans for Ferry Road that will feature a Q&A session and opportunity for feedback. That virtual meeting is March 3 from 5-7 p.m., and you can register here.
