The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is holding a drop-in information session to discuss the proposed construction of the Wilma Dykeman Greenway Extension in Buncombe County. This exciting project will extend the existing Wilma Dykeman Greenway by 1.3 miles along Riverside Drive and the French Broad River, from near Hill Street to Pearson Bridge Road.
