Hendersonville staff announces plan to seek $10 million transportation bond; public hearing set for Dec. 4
Summary
City staff presented a notice of intent to seek a $10 million general obligation transportation bond for repaving, sidewalk accessibility and other transportation improvements; a public hearing is scheduled for Dec. 4 and voters would decide the measure in March 2026.
The budget and evaluation director presented a notice of intent to apply for a $10,000,000 general obligation transportation bond, city staff said. If approved by voters in March 2026, the bond would fund street repaving, sidewalk accessibility improvements and other projects to create safer, better connected transportation networks.
City staff explained next steps include setting a public hearing on the bond for the Dec. 4 council meeting. The director’s presentation (name not specified in the transcript) detailed the intended purposes but did not include a final project list or cost breakdown. Residents were directed to hvlncc.gov/gobond for more information.
The proposal is a voter-approved general obligation bond, which would require placement on the March 2026 ballot before any funds could be issued. The meeting record does not show a council vote to place the bond on the ballot at this session; staff framed the item as notice of intent and the council scheduled the public hearing as the next procedural step.
