UNC Asheville recently began site work at its 525 Broadway St. vacant acreage in the city’s Montford neighborhood in preparation for using it for overflow parking during construction projects that will begin in spring 2017. 

Staff will mow brush, repair some storm drains and install gravel for parking areas, providing “much-needed” space during renovations of Highsmith Union and a new residence hall on campus, UNCA noted in a press release.
