LCAB subcommittee moves nine projects forward; two projects held pending more information
Summary
A subcommittee reported unanimous approval of nine conservation and trail projects and recommended holding two projects for additional staff follow‑up and community engagement; the board discussed retaining funds and returning with presentations to commissioners.
The board heard the 'Bob and Bob' subcommittee report that nine projects were advanced unanimously to funding consideration and two projects were held for further work and staff follow-up. "We approved the Asheville Greenworks, Friends of Piney Creek proposal, Greenway Trail improvement, Lawson Gardens, 33 acres on sand Hill Road, Camp Greer Works, Community Forest development," said Bob Gale, describing the approved list and noting unanimous support among subcommittee members.
Gale and other presenters said two projects — a trailhead/education park project and a 309‑acre Weaverville watershed trails proposal — were held because staff identified details needing resolution, including community concerns about a proposed parking location; subcommittee members said they would explicitly request that commissioners reserve approximately $4,108,173 as potential holdover funding while these projects are finalized.
