At Sitework Studios, we believe the health of a place and its economy are inseparable. Every mixed-use community, every civic building, every restored streetscape starts with a region investing in its own future.
That's why we're proud to join the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce & Economic Development Coalition as an investor in the AVL 5x5 Plan for 2030.
Now in its fourth five-year cycle, AVL 5x5 brings together business leaders, the City of Asheville, Buncombe County, educational institutions, and the community around a shared strategy for job growth, wage growth, and long-term economic vitality. The 2030 plan carries added weight, pairing that long view with the work of recovery from Hurricane Helene.
As landscape architects and planners, we see this work take physical form every day. Economic development shows up as buildable sites, walkable districts, resilient infrastructure, and places where people want to live and work. We're glad to stand alongside the businesses and organizations shaping what Western North Carolina becomes over the next five years.
Here's to a stronger, more resilient region.
