Here's the announcement from Buncombe County:
We recognize the value of government-to-citizen communication, and the crucial role of mobile technology in today’s society. That’s why Buncombe County is going mobile! You can now get the latest community information and resources right on your iPhone, Android, or Blackberry. We’ve signed up to publish Buncombe County news, events, maps, and services through a revolutionary mobile app called YouTown.
YouTown allows the publication of various types of public data – all of which is easily viewable on your mobile device.

• Events keeps you informed about commissioner meetings, ribbon cuttings, holiday closings, etc.
• Services is a convenient tool for learning about WIC, flu shots, marriage licenses, etc.
