Completed in June 2023, the Southside Community Stormwater Project was a collaborative effort to address water quality issues and the needs of a marginalized community. RiverLink partnered with residents of the Southside Community, Wildlands Engineering, and the Asheville Housing Authority to construct green stormwater infrastructure features that capture and filter runoff before it reaches Nasty Branch and the French Broad River and provide community amenities at Erskine Apartments.
In order to maintain the site and all of its features, we will be hosting monthly public volunteer events on the Third Saturday of every month from 10am-12pm.
RiverLink will provide all necessary tools and equipment. Closed-toed shoes are required and pants are recommended. We also recommend everyone bring a water bottle and gardening gloves if you have them, but we will also provide gloves if needed.
