ASHEVILLE - The city has issued removal notices to homeless people at two more tent camps at Riverbend Park near a Walmart and another near Isaac Dickson school on Hill Street.
City of Asheville spokeswoman Polly McDaniel said the city issued seven-day removal notices April 12 to the two encampments, which have popped up in recent weeks. The Riverbend Park site is in front of the East Asheville Walmart, while the one adjacent to Isaac Dickson Elementary School is actually on Duke Energy property, some of which is encroaching onto school property, McDaniel said. While the city remains aligned with CDC guidance, which advises that unsheltered populations be allowed to remain in place during the pandemic to help cut down on the transmission of COVID, if there are safety concerns encampments should be moved, McDaniel said in an email statement.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) Asheville city officials are taking steps to remove two homeless encampments due to growing safety concerns.
City of Asheville spokesperson Polly McDaniel told News 13 in an email that city officials issued seven-day removal notices on April 9 to those currently residing in two city parks, including Aston Park and Martin Luther King Jr. Park.
