In the October 23 episode of What's Up AVL!, host Trey Irby, the City's Neighborhood Services Specialist, talked with Michelle Decker, President of the Haw Creek Community Association.

During this 30-minute interview, Irby and Decker discuss our Haw Creek neighborhood, HCCA's initiatives, and the City’s Neighborhood Matching Grant Program. This grants program helps Asheville's neighborhood-based organizations fund various improvement projects by providing dollar-for-dollar matching grants of up to $5,000.

HCCA has received three Neighborhood Matching Grants:

• 2025 Wildfire Risk Assessment and Reduction Project
  
• 2023 Masters Park Trailhead Kiosk Installation 
  
• 2021 Beverly Road Pedestrian Bridge Construction

Tune in to learn how HCCA is making a difference in Haw Creek and how the Neighborhood Matching Grants program helps Asheville neighborhoods bring community-driven projects to life.
