jr7777 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2006 This was reported on WLOS about an hour ago. I couldn't find an article online, so I'll just summarize what was said. Last night, an incorporation meeting was held at Erwin High School. Their reasons for incorporation are:Community wants protection from annexationIncorporation would let them keep part of the taxes (sales, alcohol)Want to have more of a say in what happens in their communityIncorporation could happen during the full legislative session that ends in 2007; however, if a local lawmaker is asked to introduce it in the short session, Leicester could become a town this year.

orulz 458 Report post Posted April 13, 2006 Just curious... why did you chose to live in Leicester (pronounced "Lester") rather than Asheville proper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pawa_k2001 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2006 When I first came to Asheville in August 2005 I didnt like how the neighborhoods looked in Asheville. They were either to expensive of to poor. My dream though is to live on a condo in DT. But I like to live in bigger DTs so I will wait a couple of years until someone builds something nice and tall in DT. Also I bought 2 properties in Leicester. I want to build what will fit me instead of buying what I can fit into. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
