Vision for growth and development in Asheville: “My vision for growth and development in Asheville is one that is focused on integration of all municipal services to create a quality, safe, attractive, and diverse place where people from all walks of life can live and prosper. I think a community’s approach to its development process is just as important and inseparable from its approach to economic development, parks and recreation, transportation, or infrastructure planning and it is only through the integration of these services and programs that Asheville will continue to be the thriving place that it is.”

Professional affiliations: member of City of Asheville Board of Adjustment, President of Western Carolinians for Criminal Justice

Before you comment

The comments section is here to provide a platform for civil dialogue on the issues we face together as a local community. Xpress is committed to offering this platform for all voices, but when the tone of the discussion gets nasty or strays off topic, we believe many people choose not to participate. Xpress editors are determined to moderate comments to ensure a constructive interchange is maintained. All comments judged not to be in keeping with the spirit of civil discourse will be removed and repeat violators will be banned. See here for our terms of service. Thank you for being part of this effort to promote respectful discussion.
