Special Called Town Council Meeting- 5:00 PM

The Black Mountain Town Council will hold a special meeting on January 8th to discuss the town's proposed Stormwater Master Plan and begin the search for a new Town Manager. A significant portion of the meeting will be dedicated to reviewing a presentation outlining improvements needed across various areas of town, including downtown and several key watersheds like Tomahawk Branch. These improvements aim to address flooding risks, upgrade aging infrastructure, and prepare for future weather events – a project estimated to cost around $35 million.

The council will not be voting on the Stormwater Master Plan itself at this meeting, but they will discuss and potentially vote to select an executive search firm to help find a replacement for the departing Town Manager. Residents interested in learning more about the town's plans to improve stormwater management and how it might impact their neighborhoods are encouraged to attend or watch the meeting. The decisions made regarding the Town Manager search will directly impact town leadership and future planning efforts.
