Abstract:

Initiated by the Avery County Chamber of Commerce in conjunction with the County Redevelopment Board, the construction of a new golf course, ski resort, and the mass planting of Frazier firs is set to increase local business. Intending to promote the region as a center for new summer residences, Avery residents are already reaping the benefits of new exchanges in the form of blueberry patches, Christmas tree cultivation, beef production, and a thriving newspaper.
