The Comprehensive, which was last updated in 2014, contains a framework of goals, policies, and action strategies to guide future decision-making and actions. You can be a part of the planning: visit the comprehensive plan website here to take a short survey that will help Town officials evaluate and prioritize planning themes as well as receive your input on future ideas for Blowing Rock.

Sending a huge Thank You to the Blowing Rock Women's Club from all the Town staff for feeding us all a fantastic potluck meal Wednesday.



Your support is so appreciated!

Public Works is painting the town. Signs that is!

Pictured here is Tim Williams, who is tasked with painting all the signs and posts in our downtown. Details like this can easily be overlooked but make an impact in keeping our Town looking clean and fresh.

Thank you, Public Works!
