Western NC seeks TVA funds for regional use in Western North Carolina
Polk County Democratic nominee George Alley pushes an online petition to earmark 11.2 million from a TVA settlement for Western North Carolina. The effort targets the 16 western counties, amid budget talks that shifted funds to agriculture and a biofuels center, with 545 signatures and assurances from Sen. Tom Apodaca that the money will stay in the region, possibly for DuPont State Forest. The move follows state actions on pollution mitigation and energy efficiency, while Hendersonville eyes weed and trash cleanup funded through property-owner assessments.
