Missing Middle Housing: TL;DR. An event exploring what middle housing is and why we need it.

Ferguson Auditorium at AB-Tech Community College 19 Tech Dr., Asheville, NC

Wait - so you’re saying that you did NOT read the 150+ page report that came out just before the holidays? I feel you. And this event is for you. We want everyone to understand what is meant by the term missing middle housing - because it may not be what you expect. We also want to talk about why it might be a very good thing for our community if we could get more of it. Attendance is free but we ask that you RSVP in advance.

A beautiful forest and early wildflower environment make for a special experience - so bring your camera to this moderate in-and-out hike. Josh will discuss plants and trees along the way.
