Leftover notes from the Woodfin Board of Aldermen meeting

Some more notes from Tuesday's (Sept. 21) meeting:

* Woodfin Mayor Jerry VeHaun will be a member on the Asheville Area Riverfront Redevelopment Commission. Ricky Silver, owner of Silver-Line Plastics in Woodfin and Woodfin town attorney Joe Ferikes, is also on the board. The AARRC was created to support the continued development and sustainability of the riverfront. This commission is a strategic partnership and includes appointees from the City of Asheville, Buncombe County, RiverLink, Town of Woodfin, Council of Independent Business Owners, Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce and the City’s River District Design Review Committee. The commission acts as an advisory board and provides policy recommendations to the city and strategic partners.

* Following the county's lead, Woodfin aldermen approved setting $160,000 as the affordable housing cap. Those constructing houses less than that amount can qualify for reduction of tap fees and other discounts.

* The aldermen approved two updates to the town's personnel policy.

* The aldermen will have a public hearing on Oct. 19 before considering adoption of a 301-foot section of Sen. Reynolds Boulevard into the municipal street system.
