Henderson County eyes joint health sciences site with Wingate
Henderson County leader Jerry McGee says the mill property was not under consideration as Wingate eyes relocation by January 2016. Wyatt sells a two-for-one plan using BRCC land to expand mechatronics and health sciences, with BRCC, Wingate, and local schools forming a joint building in Hendersonville. The proposal aims to boost Western North Carolina’s economy and keep Wingate in town, despite tough negotiations led by Connett.

Hendersonville agrees to build shared college facility on city land
Hendersonville purchases 92acre parcel at 647 Sixth Avenue West for 650000 and clears a house to create a buildable site. Henderson County will borrow fifteen years using city land as collateral to fund a 60000 square foot building with projected 16.2 million construction cost. An architect designs the facility with county BRCC Wingate and Pardee input. BRCC health sciences programs will move in January 2016 without rent. After loan payoff, the county will repay the city half of its investment in four installments.
