ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — The city of Asheville’s Equity and Engagement Committee discussed the status of the Community Reparations Commission, which has asked for an extension to finalize its recommendations.
The original plan was to have the CRC report finalized by summer 2024. But commission members are asking to extend the date to December 2024.
Equity and Inclusion director Brenda Mills said commission members need more time for research.
According to city of Asheville documents, Buncombe County commissioners were briefed on the request at their Nov. 21 Briefing, and Asheville City Council members will be briefed Dec. 7.
