Why would one be in Asheville? There’s nothing there except a bunch of washed out hippies.
PARI in nearby Rosman is a Cold War era mountaintop facility apparently still in operation. It’s long been reputed to be a sort of “spook” spy site.
The NCDC division of NOAA is in Asheville. Related federal facilities once filled the historic Grove Arcade, which has since been restored and the federal offices relocated.
What about the Vanderbilt property? I know most of it is a museum, but I seem to recall that the family still maintains some private apartments in the mansion. Just brainstorming.
