Reality Check: Buncombe County may collect more property taxes in coming year

The Buncombe County Commissioners are in the middle of putting together a new budget, and it could include the county collecting more in property taxes. County Manager Wanda Greene proposed spending $7 million more than the previous year. That is one reason for a possible tax increase, but Greene said there are other reasons, including a sale that never happened. The county bought the Ferry Road property in 2015 in the hopes of luring Deschutes Brewery to the area, but that deal fell through. (Photo credit: WLOS Staff)
