Public
Notice from the Town of Blowing Rock
VISIONING WORKSHOPS for Hwy 321
(Valley Blvd)
|
|
This Spring,
the Town of Blowing Rock formed an Ad Hoc Committee to study the Hwy
321 corridor. The Town then hired Benchmark Planning to assist the Ad
Hoc in creating a vision for Hwy 321 (Valley Blvd). To gather public
input, the Town will hold two meetings at Town Hall. You have one
more opportunity to provide feedback on land uses, landscaping and
beautification, site design, building design, and community appearance.
Please join us to help create a future
vision for Hwy 321.
·
Tuesday, Oct 29th at 7 PM - last opportunity to
provide input!
