Asheville has a Mayor’s Development Task Force. Its stated objective is to “review and discuss challenges associated with developing in the City of Asheville.” One might expect an update to identify ordinances that are not working, such as this tree-save ordinance is making us save inferior trees, your green building standards are antiquated and costly, or this form is totally useless. Instead, the recommendations coming out of the task force are for increased expenditures to hire more bureaucrats and provide more education and outreach to the community.
