## Summary

The upcoming Mountain Community Capital Fund (MCCF) Operating Committee meeting on May 1st will center around the fund’s performance and potential future initiatives. Discussions will include a review of monthly financial reports, updates on lending activities supported by Mountain BizWorks, and a look at the fund's work plan. A significant item on the agenda is considering whether to apply for a grant from Dogwood Health Trust, which could provide substantial funding.

A key decision expected is whether to formally submit a letter of interest for the Dogwood Health Trust grant. The committee will also receive updates on efforts to appoint a Buncombe County representative, with the final decision resting with the Board of Commissioners. These discussions relate to how the MCCF supports local businesses and contributes to economic development in the region, making it relevant for anyone interested in community investment.

Finally, a public comment period will be available, allowing residents to share their thoughts and perspectives on the MCCF’s work. The meeting provides a chance to learn about how funds are being used and potentially influence the direction of this important community resource.
