Following the release of the Asheville-specific Policy Report recommending the sale of the city’s civic center, authors Michael Sanera and Travis Fisher
have been responding to comments. On Asheville’s Brian O’Brian show,
Sanera voiced his position and received listener comments, many of them
supportive. The authors, in a Letter to the Editor in the Asheville Citizen-Times, responded to Asheville Councilman Jan Davis‘s negative opinion of the idea in the Citizen-Times‘ coverage of the report. Nelda Holder of the Mountain Xpress, interviewed Sanera for an upcoming story on the future of the civic center.  Chad Adams also appeared on the Matt Mittan show to discuss Asheville’s options for their civic center.  Using information from the report, Sanera, in an Op-Ed to the Wilmington Star, suggested the state sell the marina to a private company instead of fighting over a lease extension.
