Asheville,North Carolina, seen in the photo I took just above here, recently designed our "Smart Growth" Plan. " "Smart Growth is a proposed City of Asheville development pattern that makes efficient use of our limited land, fully utilizes our urban services and infrastructure, promotes a wide variety of transportation and housing options, absorbs and effectively serves a significant portion of the future population growth of Buncombe County and Western North Carolina, protects the architectural and environmental character of the City through compatible, high quality, and environmentally-sensitive development practices...."
As eco-savvy and green as we can be, we buyers' brokers try to tune-in to indicators of sustainable innovation in the Asheville area.
For example...
- 1) We keep an eye out in our communities to see what change, if any, is occurring.
- 2) We create opportunities not only for ourselves as real estate professionals, but for our clients as well.
- 3) Our business plans take into account a the eco-friendly trends that makes sense for the future.
