ASHEVILLE - The N.C. Department of Transportation and City of Asheville invite the public to a meeting from 4-7 p.m. on May 28th at Harrah’s Cherokee Center Asheville.
The open meeting is regarding a proposal by NCDOT and the City to extend the Wilma Dykeman Greenway to the north along the French Broad River. The purpose of the meeting is to introduce the preliminary designs and gather public input.
