Education

Asheville will spend the last $501,384 of its American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to help the Asheville PEAK Academy boost academic performance and reduce an “opportunity gap” for students from low- to moderate-income homes. The issue approved on the consent agenda of a City Council meeting on March 12, 2024, at Asheville City Hall.

The days are numbered for the long-vacant Haynes Tower building at A-B Tech’s Enka campus now that the Buncombe County Commission has approved a $648,990 contract for demolition.
