The Clean Air Community Trust was formed in 2002 jointly by the Buncombe County Commissioners and the Asheville City Council.    We were formed to be the non-regulatory companion organization to the Western North Carolina Air Quality Control Agency. We owe a great debt of gratitude to the Buncombe County Medical Society   for providing the initial seed funding of $5000 to establish CACT.  In the spring of 2003, start-up funding was provided by the Western North Carolina Regional Air Quality Control Agency.  A self-perpetuating board of directors representing the medical, commercial, educational, and governmental sectors of our community governs the CACT.
