Welcome to GroWNC!
GroWNC is a listening and planning process to develop regional and local strategies for economic prosperity, quality growth, and sustainable development. Working in the five county region of Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison, and Transylvania counties, the GroWNC project team will work with a Consortium of local governments, non-profit organizations, and businesses to seek significant input from residents of the region, gather existing and historical data, and synthesize it to create a vision of the future.
Together we will draw on existing plans and strategies to develop a plan to foster economic prosperity through a regional vision that identifies implementable projects and actions. Won't you join us?
