Community Gathering March 1 to Discuss Plans for Concrete Plant Public Hearing
A community gathering to discuss plans for the upcoming concrete plant public hearing will take place Saturday, March 1, beginning at 4:30 pm., at the Pohl-Zaretsky home. The concrete plant public hearing remains scheduled for Noon on Wednesday, March 12. If you are concerned about the proposed concrete plant on Murphy Hill Road, you should consider attending this gathering. Please RSVP and get directions by calling 645-9291 or e-mailing pohlzaret@aol.com.
Here’s the information Aaron provided me about the March 1 gathering. If you need further details please contact him at the number or e-mail address listed above:
- We will smoke a large turkey, provide tabouli (a middle eastern salad), and some dessert. If you are so inclined, please bring some food or beverage to add to the “stone soup”! If you can’t, please just bring yourselves and share the food and drink which I am sure will be plentiful.
- All are welcome, don’t hesitate to bring children.
- If the weather cooperates, we will have an outdoor bonfire.
- We have limited parking by our home. If you are able, please park at the field to the right of the driveway (it will be marked) and walk up the hill to our house. If you choose to drive, please turn around at the top of the hill and park facing down hill. You might want to offer folks walking up the hill a lift. (Directions available when you RSVP).
- Dress informally and prepare to meet your neighbors and have a great time.
- Please RSVP and let us know how many are in your party so we can prepare.
Several of you have already made generous contributions to North Buncombe Association of Concerned Citizens. If you have not and would like to do so, please mail your tax deductible contribution to Martha Claxton at 240 Upper Flat Creek Rd., Weaverville, NC 28787.
This upcoming public hearing is by far our best (and least expensive) hope for making sure that the concrete plant is not built on the Murphy Hill site. If we do lose, we will have to appeal, and we can only appeal utilizing the facts that were introduced at the public hearing. Numbers do count at the hearing so it is important that EVERYONE come to speak to register your concern - if only for a few moments.
