The City of Asheville is home to the world’s largest storehouse of data measuring the Earth’s weather and climate. In 2015, Asheville became the headquarters of the National Centers for Environmental Information and the steward of over twenty-five petabytes of data consolidated on servers at the Veach-Baley Federal Complex in the city’s center. A new conference called ClimateCon will solidify Asheville as a “Climate City” and key player in developing solutions to climate change.
