If you build it, will they come? Tat’s a question facing the
Weaverville Town Council. Te downtrodden economy has
put the brakes of much economic development the last two years and Weaverville certainly isn’t an excep- tion. At least one councilman wants to
poise Weaverville as an attractive option for businesses and industries looking for new or relocated devel- opment. One of those paths could be
building a revamped Web site. Councilman Doug Jackson said
the Web site,
weavervillenc.org, is a cold, statistical site that does not
profile the town properly. “It doesn’t really tell you any-
thing about the town,” he said. He suggested the town use the Web site to highlight its businesses, achieve- ments and atmosphere. Anne-Marie Dany, proprietor of
myweaverville.com, said the site is in need of tweaks and plans to work with the town on updates in the coming weeks. A dilemma facing any economic
development is whether the town can handle the potential infrastruc- ture costs and issues a new industry would bring to Weaverville. Weaverville Town Manager Mike
Morgan said it is important for a town to know its niche, take care of its established businesses and then grow from there, if desired.

Economic development could en-
tail establishing new town events or creating a community for the many artists who call Weaverville home. “It’s not all smokestacks in eco- nomic development,” he said.
