Be a Part of Riverfront Recovery + Rebuilding

The continued revitalization of Walton Street Park that encompasses the historic pool area and the new playground, paved walking loop, additional lighting and safety enhancements, and mural on the rebuilt basketball court is only one exciting community investment in Southside. Other investments include Livingston Street traffic calming improvements, Nasty Branch Greenway, and greenway connectors to Memorial Stadium and the French Broad riverfront.

Join friends at Asheville Middle School on Wednesday, December 10 from 6-8pm for a drop-in open house to tell members of the Asheville Recovers project team the best ways to build back our city's riverfront parks, greenways, and public infrastructure to serve everyone who lives in our community. There are also focused discussions on Thursday, December 11 – including one designated specifically for riverfront neighbors like those who live in Southside.

If you cannot make either of these opportunities, please spend a few minutes taking the survey below by December 19.
