City to drop Ninth Avenue West street closing
Hendersonville City Council plans to scrap the proposed closure of Ninth Avenue West between Church and Oakland streets. The action dates to December 2013 with then plans tied to the Boyd Chevrolet property, now county owned, and a February 2014 public hearing. School officials said the district is not ready to proceed and is at least a year or two from deciding use of the property. Council staff recommended holding the hearing and taking no action.
