Monday, March 11 to Friday, March 15 is Civic Learning Week, iCivics’ annual celebration of the knowledge and skills that provide a foundation for an informed population. Well, we’re all about getting to know your local government, so we thought we’d gather a few resources we’ve shared on engaging with the City of Asheville and Buncombe County.
Make the grade by learning about:
- City and County services | Find out where to go for services like getting a marriage license or applying for a code permit.
- The Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority | Get to know the ins and outs of the BCTDA and Explore Asheville — what they mean for locals and how to connect.
- Local animal codes | Make sure that your furry (and scaly and slippery) friends are up to code.
- Homeowner assistance programs | Explore resources like septic repair assistance and weatherization services.
- Community feedback | Get involved with engagement hubs and community workshops.
- City or County boards | Improve the community by joining a board or commission.
