is greatly needed and should be
pushed now, chamber of commerce
directors and members decided at
the town hall Tuesday evening.
Pointing out that it would be
only 12 miles from Black Moun

Mount Mitchell motor road and
the parkway, those attending be
lieve that now is the time to in
tensify efforts to sell the plan to

pared with the present distance
of 50 over the Old Fort route or
via Asheville.
“This would be a tremendous
asset to the community,” Alfred

said. “This ‘Sea to the Sky’ high
