[Regarding “City of Asheville Signs Deal to Work With Private Company to Pursue Building a New Performing Arts Center Downtown,” Aug. 29, Asheville Watchdog via Xpress website:]
This is the best news I have heard in Asheville in years. I only hope that we can actually get it done. We need a state-of-the-art facility that can bring things to our citizens and community that we have been missing (musicians, comedians, shows, etc.).
The Thomas Wolfe Auditorium is nearly 100 years old and is beyond its useful life and doesn’t have the room or infrastructure for modern events. This will be great for downtown businesses, restaurants and bars…
