April 4, 2024 Agenda Workshop Meeting - 5:00 p.m.

The Black Mountain Town Council will hold a meeting on April 8th, where they'll tackle several important topics impacting our community. Discussions will center around environmental sustainability, including recognizing Earth Day and exploring ways to reduce single-use plastics. The Council will also hear a report from the Police Department detailing their activities in 2023 and review ongoing sustainability initiatives within the town.

Several key decisions are expected, particularly regarding zoning and land use. The Council will consider a voluntary annexation of property on Frances Avenue and rezoning requests for Montreat College, potentially impacting development in those areas. They will also vote on applying for grants to improve our trails and replace lead lines in our water infrastructure, projects that will benefit residents. Approvals are also anticipated for routine items like budget adjustments and minutes from previous meetings, as well as agreements related to public safety and recreational programs.

Residents interested in these topics, particularly those affected by zoning changes or concerned about environmental issues, are encouraged to attend the meeting or view it online. Public hearings regarding zoning and nuisance text amendments are scheduled for May 13th, providing further opportunities to engage in these discussions.
