'Soft-hand–strong-hand' homelessness plan would include services, penalties

HENDERSONVILLE – The city unveiled the early outline of a two-pronged approach to addressing homelessness at its Nov. 5 City Council meeting. Many details are yet to be hammered out but the city plans to adopt a program to promote and expand services for people on the street and likely add penalties for living or sleeping on public property. The draft Unhoused Strategic Plan aims to reduce and prevent homelessness by addressing its root causes, improve quality of life for those on the street and expand public-private partnerships. A draft Camping Ordinance proposes enacting a $50 ticket and/or making staying on the street an arrestable criminal offense. This “soft-hand – strong-hand” strategy, as multiple city officials called it, is meant to combine outreach and legal accountability, they said. The Hendersonville Police Department had 93 encounters with people living on the street from July through October, most of them at night or in the early morning, Budget Management Analyst Jennifer Floyd told Council. The city typically has an average of around 140 people with nowhere to live, though that number spiked to around 600 in January 2025, soon after Tropical Storm Helene, Floyd said. The city plans to conduct a point

Pickens County pumps brakes on data center development

Pickens County Council unanimously approved the first reading of a proposed six-month moratorium on new data center development Nov. 2, giving county officials time to study how the rapidly growing industry could affect the county and what regulations may be needed before projects move forward. The ordinance, identified as No. 694, would temporarily pause data center development while county leaders evaluate zoning, infrastructure and land-use considerations related to the facilities. The proposal advanced by unanimous vote, with all council members present voting in favor of a first reading. The main topic of the first reading was the county council's desire to make Pickens County a safe area from the environmental risks posed by a data center. "I see it more as giving people peace of mind," Council Chair Alex Saitta said. "I don't support them, I'm not going to vote for one, and I wouldn't imagine the majority up here won't." The vote comes weeks after county officials publicly acknowledged that a real estate agent put in an inquiry to the county to gauge its interest in hosting a data center. During an Oct. 5 council meeting, County Administrator Ken Roper said a developer had inquired about Pickens County's "appetite

Henderson County farmland preservation referendum passes easily

HENDERSONVILLE – Henderson County may put millions towards protecting farmland and woodlands against development, voters decided by a solid margin Nov. 3. The open space conservation bond referendum, also known as the GO bond, the farms and forests bond and the farmland preservation bond, passed 59% to 40%, a difference of 10,000 votes. All along, there seemed to be broad-based support for the ballot question, across ideological lines. The measure allows the Board of Commissioners to borrow $25 million to pay landowners who volunteer to add deed restrictions to their property , preventing it from ever being subdivided or built up in the face of intense and mounting development pressure. The money may also go toward surveys, environmental assessments and appraisals, including for easements donated to the county in exchange for tax breaks. When a landowner signs over a conservation easement, they still hold deed to the property and can live on it, farm it, sell it and leave it to heirs, but no new housing, commercial or industrial buildings can go there. Henderson County has lost around 20% of its farmland over the last 10 years, Terry Kelley, director of the N.C. Cooperative Extension’s Henderson County office, told the
