Special Montreat Minute 7/18/24

Hello Montreaters!

We have some important news to share. The Town Manager learned yesterday from the Buncombe County Board of Elections that the Montreat Board of Commissioners seat left vacant by Kent Otto will be included on the ballot this coming November. Current commissioner Grant Dasher, who was appointed to the seat in 2023, will be seeking election. The two-year term will expire in 2026.

With this, Montreat’s Board of Commissioners will have four seats open this coming November.

• Must be a registered voter of the county.

• Must be at least 21 years old on Election Day.

• Must be a resident within the municipal corporate limits of Montreat.
