Parks Master Plan on Dual Agendas as Boards Review Bradford-Berry House, Upcoming Zoning Hearings
The Hendersonville Parks and Recreation Systemwide Master Plan drew attention at two recent city meetings, with the Board of Parks and Recreation slated to approve the plan and the Public Works Committee set to vote on a resolution adopting its five-year update. Minutes from the June 22 and 23 meetings have not yet been published, so outcomes remain unofficial.
Also under consideration at the Board of Mayor and Aldermen was a partnership with the Bradford-Berry Preservation Society and a revision to personnel rules affecting public safety assistant chiefs. Upcoming meetings will address a 2,104-square-foot garage permit, zoning and subdivision ordinance changes, and site plans for a multi-building office and retail development on East Main Street.
Parks Master Plan
Both the Board of Parks and Recreation on June 22 and the Public Works Committee on June 23 listed the Parks Master Plan on their agendas. The parks board’s agenda included “Approval of the Hendersonville Parks Master Plan,” while the Public Works Committee was scheduled to vote on Resolution 2026-22, which would adopt the 2026 Parks and Recreation Systemwide Master Plan 5-Year Update. No further details on the plan’s content were provided.
The parks board also planned to discuss e-bike regulations in city parks and consider program approvals for USA Preps and USSSA Baseball, an Eagle Scout flag installation project, and an update on the Hendersonville Citizens Police program.
Public Works updates
During the June 23 Public Works Committee meeting, staff were set to deliver verbal progress reports on several infrastructure projects. According to the agenda, the LED streetlight conversion is 45% complete, with 1,070 of 2,338 lights replaced. Construction on a light synchronization project is expected to begin in June 2026, and the Drakes Creek and Stop 30 intersection condemnation remains in the public notice period, with possession anticipated in July 2026. Additional updates covered Drakes Creek Park Entrance, an Access Management Project, a Median Pilot, and Eagle View Road.
