No more high-rise, brick, steel, parking lots or concrete!
Please pay attention to what the citizens of Asheville want. [The city should] take the opportunity to do the right thing, and take the necessary steps to make the space in front of the Basilica of St. Lawrence a green park.
We need City Council to pay attention to our community’s wishes! It is time to stop the devastation of our quaint city. We want this city-owned property in front of the Basilica to become a green space that all can enjoy!

Thanks for reading through to the end…
We share your inclination to get the whole story. For the past 25 years, Xpress has been committed to in-depth, balanced reporting about the greater Asheville area. We want everyone to have access to our stories. That’s a big part of why we've never charged for the paper or put up a paywall.
We’re pretty sure that you know journalism faces big challenges these days. Advertising no longer pays the whole cost. Media outlets around the country are asking their readers to chip in. Xpress needs help, too. We hope you’ll consider signing up to be a member of Xpress. For as little as $5 a month — the cost of a craft beer or kombucha — you can help keep local journalism strong. It only takes a moment.
