The City of Asheville will get to talk about Project Bravo IV tomorrow. Goody gumdrops. I only have two requests. (1) The city really needs to be more generous to this crony. I mean, with all the economic multipliers they are going to bring, surely they can find a cool million jingling around in the public coffers somewhere. (2) If this Project Bravo IV is the same craft brewery lurking around other economic development commissions in the Southeast, then as beer crowds out options for organically-grown choices in our food deserts, we really need to look into a federal program that puts local craft beer in all free and reduced school lunches. Educated tasting skills should be instilled at an early age.
