Main Street at Enka Village--Community Meeting

A representative from the FIRC Group stopped by our meeting on 1/31 with an announcement about a community meeting on Wednesday, February 6. The FIRC Group is the developer for Main Street at Enka Village, which is the shopping/office/residential complex that will be built at the corner of Sand Hill Road and Smoky Park Highway (across from A-B Tech). At the meeting, the developers will be sharing information about their plans and looking for input from the community. It would be great to have a lot of Enka Village voices there!

The meeting will be held at A-B Tech's Enka Campus in the Haynes Building, Room 200 at 7:00 p.m.

Reminder: Enka Village meeting this Thursday, January 31

7:00 p.m. at Enka Baptist Church. This is the rescheduled date from the meeting originally scheduled for January 17. We'll be discussing postal service and other issues of concern to our neighborhood. See you there!

Tonight's Community Meeting Cancelled

Due to concerns about freezing conditions on the roads, tonight's meeting will be postponed by two weeks. We will now meet on Thursday, January 31 at 7 p.m. This will allow our scheduled speaker to join us and will prevent any unnecessary travel in dangerous conditions. Please spread the word to your neighbors!

Library Exhibit Features Enka Images

If you're in the Enka branch of the public library soon, take a look at the exhibit in the meeting room. There are photographs of the early days in Hominy Valley, including a shot of Enka Village when it still had dirt roads!

Reminder: Enka Village Community Meeting January 17

The next Enka Village meeting will be on Thursday, January 17, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. at Enka Baptist Church. The main topic of discussion will be postal delivery, which is now in the works for the village! Asheville's emergency address coordinator will be on hand to discuss concerns related to our physical addresses, and we will also discuss mailbox placement and other issues.
