Hendersonville City Council on Oct. 22 approved a staff‑drafted letter of commitment to the French Broad Metropolitan Planning Organization’s Safe Streets for Western North Carolina plan.
Staff said the MPO asked member governments for a letter indicating local commitment to support the plan and help implement its recommendations; the letter will be finalized on city letterhead for the mayor’s signature and submission. Mayor Pro Tem Hensley moved the motion and the council approved it by voice vote.
Mayor Pro Tem Hensley said the endorsements are important when jurisdictions pursue federal funding: “It’s just really important that we all adopt these resolutions for the safer streets plan, and it does help with federal funding overall,” Hensley said. Staff will finalize and submit the letter.
No additional policy or funding commitments were approved at the meeting beyond the letter of support.
