EBCI Community Input on Asheville's Pack Square Redesign

The Vision for Pack Square Plaza is to ensure its position as an incredibly inclusive and welcoming destination for locals and visitors alike by reshaping the space so it is more usable and accessible, offers new experiences and amenities for all people, reimagines how we share histories and address past harm, and establishes a strong physical and cultural connection to The Block.

​

The Office of the Principal Chief has appointed Kimberly Smith, Yellowhill Community to serve on the City of Asheville's Advisory Committee for the project. Currently, there is a call for public comment on the current project vision. Review the vision here.
