Hendersonville council agendas spotlight FY 2026-2027 budget, industrial park agreements, and Ironwood Square annexation
Hendersonville City Council had a busy two weeks, with agendas covering the proposed Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget, a federal water-improvement grant tied to Project Vert, and public hearings on the Garrison Industrial Park and the annexation of Ironwood Square. Minutes have not yet been published for any of the recent meetings, so outcomes and vote tallies are not available.
City Council — June 24
The council's second monthly meeting was scheduled to include two public hearings. The first concerned an application for a Community Development Block Grant for water improvements on Howard Gap Road to support Project Vert. The second covered adoption of the FY 2026-2027 budget.
New business included a resolution authorizing a free parking contract between the city and First Baptist Church. Presentations were listed on the Public Art Plan, delivered by the Downtown Manager, and on direction for a zoning text amendment for the Downtown Design Overlay (26-23-ZTA). The council was also scheduled to make appointments to boards and committees.
Because minutes are not yet published, it is not possible to confirm which items were adopted, how any votes went, or whether the budget was finalized.
Historic Preservation Commission — July 1
The HPC's Community Affairs Sub-Committee met to plan several initiatives. Agenda items included the annual programming schedule, a Realtor training session, an oral history listening session for the Neighborhood History Project, and organizing Halloween at Oakdale.
No binding votes or financial decisions were on the agenda. The session was described as primarily planning and discussion.
City Council — July 2
The council's regular meeting included three public hearings. The first covered amendments to a three-party agreement, an interlocal agreement, and restrictive covenants for Garrison Industrial Park. The second concerned annexation of Ironwood Square (26-37-ANX). The third addressed a certificate of public convenience and necessity for I&M Airport Taxi LLC.
Consent items included multiple utility purchases and annexation certificates. New business listed a Language Access Plan and July 2026 budget amendments. An annexation request for Georgia Ave was also on the agenda.
Again, minutes are not yet published, so no outcomes, vote counts, or final dollar amounts can be confirmed from the available record.
Coming up
- **Planning Board — Regular Meeting, July 9, 2026:** The board will hold a public hearing on a standard rezoning for Ironwood Square (case 26-43-RZO) and a zoning text amendment for small cell wireless facilities (26-47-ZTA). Members will also discuss a separate text amendment for the Downtown Design Overlay District (26-23-ZTA) and consider approval of minutes from June 11, 2026.
Residents who want to verify outcomes from the June 24 and July 2 council meetings should watch for posted minutes on the city's official website, as the agendas alone do not confirm what was decided.
