Canceled: Design Review Committee (In-Person) (Aug 20, 2026)

The Design Review Committee will meet on August 20th at City Hall to discuss several items, with the main focus being a review of plans for a proposed Emergency Services Regional Station. This project involves repurposing an existing Buncombe County Public Works building on McCormick Place, and the committee will be providing feedback and recommendations to guide its design. The meeting will also include a brief review and approval of minutes from a previous meeting.

A key aspect of this meeting is the formal design review of the Emergency Services Station project, which will likely shape its final appearance and functionality. While no formal votes are expected at this stage, the committee's input will be crucial to ensuring the project aligns with city design standards. Interested residents are encouraged to review relevant materials beforehand, which can be found on the City of Asheville's website.

Public comment is being accepted via email at [email protected] until 5:00 p.m. on August 19th, and the meeting itself will be streamed live on the City of Asheville’s YouTube channel for those unable to attend in person. Information regarding accessibility accommodations can be obtained by contacting Will Palmquist at [email protected].
