The City of Asheville is supporting recovery and restoration efforts for public infrastructure in Biltmore Village following the catastrophic damage caused by Tropical Storm Helene. The core work, supported by a $2.94 million NC Department of Commerce grant, targets the restoration of historic brick sidewalks, granite curbing, and street trees on Biltmore Plaza/Kitchin Place, Boston Way, and Swan Street. This effort is designed to honor the district's historic character—adhering to design standards and considering elements of the original Frederick Law Olmsted plan—while improving overall ADA accessibility. We are also strategically coordinating the restoration with a separate project to fix damaged lighting, ensuring an efficient and holistic recovery across Biltmore Village.
