Asheville City Council
Shortly after the Buncombe County commissioners approved a resolution aimed at encouraging the city of Asheville to work out a land swap with developer Stewart Coleman in connection with his controversial Parkside project, City Council last week said that remedying the situation is the commissioners’ responsibility.
Buncombe Commissioners
The Buncombe County Board of Commissioners sold a piece of parkland to developer Stewart Coleman; now they want it back. But they’re asking the city of Asheville to make it happen. At their June 24 meeting, the commissioners unanimously approved a resolution encouraging the city to agree to a land swap so that Coleman’s controversial Parkside condominium project would not intrude into the adjacent Pack Square Park.
