Hendersonville to wipe longtime parking policy from books after NC ban

HENDERSONVILLE – The city is preparing to remove off-street parking requirements from its books to comply with a state law passed in July that bans local governments from setting parking minimums. This means that come Jan. 1, the city will no longer be able to make developers include any parking spaces in their plans, no matter the size or type of building, Community Development Director Lew Holloway told the Hendersonville Planning Board at its Nov. 12 meeting. This may not have much of a noticeable impact in many parts of the city, but in a city planner’s ideal dream scenario it could mean fewer parking lots downtown and more buildings in their place, Long-Range Planning Manager Matt Manley told the Times-News after the meeting. “Lots that are used for parking now could be developed. (We could) get more people living closer in to the core of the city, and … multi-story parking instead of oceans of asphalt,” he said.

'Historic bloodbath' for Republicans forces change at NC legislature

The startling gains for Democrats in North Carolina’s 2026 midterms, according to Michael Bitzer , were largely driven by dissatisfaction over Republican President Donald Trump. But what happens to North Carolina’s government in 2028, he believes, will largely be up to state legislators themselves. Bitzer, director of the Center for North Carolina Politics and Public Service at Catawba College, shared his analysis of the recent election during a Nov. 12 event hosted by the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce at The Restoration Asheville. Like most midterms, he said, 2026 could be considered a referendum on the president and his party. Yet the results were nearly unprecedented, he continued, calling them a “historic bloodbath” for Republicans. The last time midterm voters moved toward Democrats so strongly was 1974, following the resignation of Republican President Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal. Voters in each of North Carolina’s 100 counties, noted Bitzer, supported Democratic Senator-Elect Roy Cooper more strongly this year than they backed Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris in 2024. Cooper ended up winning his race against Republican Michael Whatley by nearly 20 percentage points. The vote shares across all Democratic candidates in both state House and Senate elections were more than
