Buncombe County Election Services will be open in the newly consolidated Government Services Center at 35 Woodfin St., starting Thursday, May 1.
The consolidated Government Services Center is a major milestone in the multi-year comprehensive facilities plan, reimagining the building at 35 Woodfin St. The location now offers one-stop access to Asheville-Buncombe Air Quality Agency, Election Services, Environmental Health, Permits & Inspections, and Planning & Development. The building is also home to the Family Justice Center, which has a separate lobby and entrance inside the main entrance.
Free parking for 35 Woodfin St. is available in the surface lot in front of the building.

- State Disaster Case Management
- Small Business Administration (SBA) disaster loans
- Hazard Mitigation Grant Program
- Additional survivor-focused services and referrals
Background
This move is part of a multi-year comprehensive facilities plan aimed at maximizing our existing space, co-locating forward-facing departments to improve the resident experience, and reducing the number of unnecessary properties from our portfolio. This move will save taxpayer dollars, allow properties to be used to address housing needs, and reimagine how the County’s public-facing departments meet the needs of our community.
