The French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), Elevate 2050, will be kicking off the first phase of public input opportunities for the plan in August.
The MTP is a federally-required transportation plan for urbanized areas with a population over 50,000 and helps to guide transportation decision-making and multimodal priorities for the region. The plan is scoped to include four phases of public input over the next (roughly) year. The first phase is focused on developing a Vision & Goals for the region. The Vision & Goals that are developed will be used to help evaluate potential transportation projects for inclusion in the plan. . .so we want to hear from YOU!
The three public meetings for the first phase of the plan include:
Friday, August 2nd 9:00-11:00 AM
Where: Henderson County Public Library
301 N Washington Street – Hendersonville, NC
