As part of an overall campus strategic planning process, Assembly Public Works has compiled strategic plans regarding the future of the Assembly. These plans differ in their intent and purpose.

The Municipal Study explores our options for municipal status. This plan is not a financial comparison or to make any specific recommendations. The study lays out the process, advantages and disadvantages to the most feasible options for the future of the Lake Junaluska Assembly; incorporation, merging our water and sewer systems, annexation with Waynesville, or staying as we are.

The study should provide a clear and objective analysis of the impact of annexation. 

The most recently completed study is our Stormwater Mangement Plan. This plan will guide us as we try to become a more sustainable and "green" campus in the future. For our Stormwater Management Plan click HERE 

 A Water and Sewer Capital Improvement Plan has been prepared to analyze our water and sewer capital improvement needs over the next ten years including costs. This plan was prepared by Cavanaugh and Associates, P.A., an engineering firm based out of Winston Salem with offices in Asheville.
