What’s Up AVL!

The City of Asheville’s bi-monthly radio show allows the community to take a deep dive with the City of Asheville staff and departments.

You can learn about different departments and what projects are taking place in your community.

On this week’s episode, host Sam Parada is joined by Lindsay Spangler, Budget and Performance Manager, and City of Asheville Finance Director Tony McDowell. 

The trio talks about the proposed Fiscal Year 2026 budget: the process, the priorities, public comment, and the upcoming public hearing for this first budget after Tropical Storm Helene.
