I remember the last group that came to town, offering the moon, but with no real plans. Our leaders fell for that hook, line, and sinker. Am I the only one? Be careful what you wish for.

I remember being promised a family style restaurant and getting a Sonic, now closed, in addition to the destruction of an historic home and legendary trees. But if this sale will finally get County Commissioners to decide to build a new courthouse on the jail site, I am all for it. Just don't go to sleep on this one, Brevard!

Mr. Warren has a deep love of Western NC and a keen sense of community engagement. This'll be a great thing for Brevard.

As an Alabama resident, I’ve seen first hand the amazing impact Tye Warren’s vision had on our state. The Lodge is first class and has gotten national acclaim. Tye is one of the best developers and operators in the business, and an even better man. Brevard is lucky to have him working for the community with this project.

While I see the benefits for Brevard I am concerned about the current overuse of Pisgah Natl Forest and DuPont State Forest and how a project like this could increase usage. Lack of Forest parking, overuse and abuse of trails and a lack of funds for improvements and maintenance combined with increasing this area’s attractiveness will finally cause a collapse of what makes this area desirable. I’m not advocating for zero development but do advocate for supporting surrounding infrastructure to prevent the area from self destruction.

Development is inevitable. Let’s look at the big picture.

You are correct. Sustainability of DuPont and Pisgah are not on the agenda at all, as far as I can see. That is needed with or without this project.
