Publix weighs Hendersonville expansion amid crowded grocery field
Local chatter questions why Publix did not lease the former Harris Teeter on Spartanburg Highway as it seeks NC locations. A 49,000 square foot Asheville style store is planned, but a 33,000 Chadwick Corners space may block the deal. Nearby competition includes Harris Teeter, Fresh Market, and Ingles with a new rival on the horizon. The question also covers Mother Earth News history and Hendersonville water meters cost differences.

Caring adults key to Henderson County children’s success
A Hendersonville series opens by stressing the community role in raising successful kids. It cites United Agenda for Children efforts since 2007, noting more school nurses, three health centers, on campus mental health services in 12 county schools, housing support, and childcare aid. It highlights poverty at 25.3 percent for under-18s in 2010, with 65.5 percent of K-12 students in free or reduced meals, rising food stamp use, and homelessness or doubled-up housing, arguing five community promises are needed: Caring Adults, Safe Places, A Healthy Start, An Effective Education, and Opportunities to Serve.
