County again denies Hoopers Creek rezoning
Henderson County commissioners denied a rezoning request to convert 10 acres on Hoopers Creek Road to allow 38 townhomes. Despite Planning Board support and staff notes aligning with 2045 housing goals, the 4-0 vote reflected concerns over flooding, traffic, and overdevelopment from neighbors and new commissioner Jay Egolf.

Residents urge crackdown on shooting from vacant land near Addison Creek
Ryan Radford, a homeowner in the Addison Creek subdivision, urged commissioners to pass an ordinance restricting firearm discharges from adjacent vacant land. The measure, supported by Sheriff Griffin, would hold landowners responsible for gunfire that leaves their property, and was adopted unanimously to improve safety without affecting Second Amendment rights.
