Weaverville council adopts regional hazard‑mitigation plan
Summary
The Weaverville Town Council voted to adopt the Buncombe–Madison Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan after staff told the council the plan carries no hidden financial obligations beyond current commitments; the plan aims to position the town for regional coordination and federal/state funding.
The Weaverville Town Council voted to adopt the Buncombe–Madison Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan after staff and council members said the plan supports regional coordination without creating new local funding obligations. Town Manager Curtis reviewed the plan and told the council the regional approach helped when working with the U.S. Forest Service after recent storm damage.
Curtis said the regionalization "helped in a lot of areas when we were dealing with the Forest Service for mitigation." Councilmembers asked whether adopting the plan commits the town to any additional long‑term payments; staff responded there is no underlying obligation beyond existing commitments. Mayor Kessel moved to adopt the plan and the motion passed.
