Marc Hunt is a practical visionary

Marc Hunt is a community visionary with practical business and financial skills that are needed on our City Council. He has a deep love for our Asheville community and its natural resources.

As chair of the Asheville Greenway Commission, Marc championed the acquisition of the Waller Tract along Hominy Creek. This new park land adds almost a mile of greenway through a beautifully wooded section of West Asheville. Through his innovative work on the project, the tract was acquired by a coalition of [the city of] Asheville, Buncombe County and private funds raised through bicycle organizations.

Marc dreams of Asheville being a city of strong, healthy neighborhoods connected with bike trails and greenways, with quality outdoor opportunities for recreation. He has the ability to cut through partisanship to find the common goals for our community and the skills to achieve them.

I strongly support Marc Hunt in his bid for City Council.
