Southside Voices Play Vital Role In Plans To Revitalize Nasty Branch

BPR NEWS
One improvement proposed by community members for the watershed restoration plan is the removal of this chain link fence that runs along Town Branch/Nasty Branch, disconnecting residents of Erskine Apartments from neighbors and the community center.
Town Branch, also called “Nasty Branch,” is the longest creek that flows through Asheville.It’s also the most polluted. Environmentalists and residents of the Southside neighborhood are hoping to change that, and in the process, they’re also hoping to reverse the current of development in city.
The 1.6 mile stream goes by two names -- a reminder of the fragmentation caused by Urban Renewal. Southside resident and community activist Roy Harris puts it bluntly.
