The City of Asheville’s Community and Economic Development Department invites the public to attend upcoming public forums to assist in the creation of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan.
The Plan sets out a framework for using federal HOME funds in Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania counties, and Community Development Block grant (CDBG) funds in the city of Asheville during the period from 2015-2020.
This is an opportunity for citizens to review local community needs and assets related to affordable housing and homelessness in the counties, and the additional issue of non-housing community development in Asheville, and to provide input for the creation of the next five-year plan.
Everyone is invited to attend and provide input:
• Henderson County, 6 p.m. on January 27 at the County Planning Board Room, 100 N King Street in Hendersonville
• Madison County, 6 p.m. on February 5 at the County Cooperative Extension Office at 258 Carolina Lane in Marshall
• Buncombe County – February 11 at Bee Tree Substation, 510 Bee Tree Road in Swannanoa from 1:30-3pm. AND Enka/Candler Library, 1404 Sandhill Road in Candler from 6-7:30pm.
