Hendersonville Board of Mayor & Aldermen 9/8/2026

The City of Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen held a meeting on September 8, 2026, which included a public hearing and multiple agenda items related to city planning, property management, and municipal code amendments. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the proposed annexation and development of approximately 32.8 acres at 1765 Avant Lane for the Avalon subdivision, a low-density residential project featuring 36 high-value homes. The board discussed the financial impact, traffic concerns, stormwater mitigation, and community sentiment, with strong support expressed for the development due to its positive fiscal impact and alignment with city growth plans. The developer, Six Fifteen Design Group, and builder Shell Brothers presented details including plans for private streets and private refuse collection, which would reduce city service costs. The board unanimously approved the annexation plan and first reading of the related ordinance. Additionally, the board approved a lease agreement with Pope John Paul II High School for surplus city property to be used for athletic fields, with terms ensuring city access and FEMA approval. Other items included amendments to zoning ordinances concerning data centers, updates to municipal codes, and scheduling adjustments for upcoming meetings. The meeting also featured presentations on city financial reports, public safety, and infrastructure projects. No contract awards or procurement decisions were made, but the annexation and development approvals will lead to future procurement and construction activities.
