Asheville HUB

The Asheville HUB is a collaborative initiative of public, private, and nonprofit participants to create sustainable strategies for the City of Asheville and Buncombe County. The vision is the development of an intentional and distinctive economy drawn from clusters of activity where we have a competitive advantage. For the first time, economic, community, and cultural development activities will be coordinated around seven targeted clusters (Creativity, Technology, Manufacturing, Land Agriculture, Rejuvenation, Enterprise, and Branding). Each cluster is led by a partner charged with implementation of one or more of the 17 goals of the HUB. The Asheville Area Arts Council is the lead agency for the Creative Cluster of the HUB. Together these partners form the HUB Cabinet. The Community and Economic Development Alliance, the members of which are appointed by the county and the city, oversees the HUB Cabinet in its implementation strategies.

The Strategic Goal for the Creative Cluster of the HUB plan is as follows: Goal XIV: To strengthen cultural development through orchestrated public, private, and nonprofit collaborations.
