Balfour Parkway route eyed as new north-south corridor
Bill Lapsley and Henderson County officials react as NCDOT unveils a 1000 foot wide Balfour Parkway corridor across the French Broad area. The plan would create a three segment parkway from U S 64 East near Walmart to I-26 then to Asheville Highway and NC 191, with only the I-26 to Asheville Highway segment funded for 2024 construction. Local leaders stress the project is a new road in a new location, expected to reshape lives and development since the 18 year old debate over the Clear Creek Connector. The corridor will be studied for potential paths, drawing maps that reveal the pathway through developed land and affect retirement communities along Haywood Road at Blythe Street.
