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.

Eagles advance in soccer playoffs with ‘next man up’ mentality

DENVER – Watching Lincoln Charter handle its business in a 3-0 defeat of Brevard in the third round of the 4A soccer state playoffs on Nov. 9, adversity isn’t the word that would come to mind for most.

Predicting Reynolds vs Asheville top NCHSAA football playoff second-round games

The NCHSAA football playoffs are in full swing. The second round begins on Nov. 13. Staff writer Zachary Huber (76-20) of the Times-News predicts the top eight games for this week in Western North Carolina. Game of the Week Reynolds (4-7) at No. 2 Asheville High (9-1) When : 7 p.m., Nov. 13 Quarterback Tay Williams threw for 227 yards and five touchdowns while completing 11 of 13 passes in Asheville High's 40-17 win over Reynolds in Week 8. Wide receivers Jams Skyes and Kaydan Whiteside combined for seven catches, 200 receiving yards and four touchdowns in the victory. Reynolds has struggled to score this season.

Democrats made gains in Western N.C. Now comes the hard part

While Western North Carolina saw more Democrats elected to the state House and Senate than the previous decade, most incumbent Republicans held onto their seats in the far west. After the Nov. 3 election, Democrats in Raleigh will now control the N.C. House of Representatives for the first time in 16 years after winning 71 of 120 seats, according to unofficial results . Democrat Lynne Russo won the 117th House district, which covers about half of Henderson County. Her victory marks the first time a Democrat has held the seat since 1959, according to her campaign, and she credits the victory to her focus on Hurricane Helene relief efforts – and the region’s frustration with inadequate funding.
