(3/30/17) — The Asheville Chamber is pleased to learn of the passage of HB142, which repeals HB2, and removes vestiges of institutionalized discrimination from our state statutes. We are encouraged at the bipartisan support of the bill and want to thank Governor Roy Cooper, Senate Pro Tem Phil Berger and Speaker Tim Moore for their efforts. While not perfect, this bill allows us to get back to business as a region and state, as we look towards the future and a more welcoming business environment.
