'Above the Mud' Greenway Project
The City of Hendersonville and NCDOT are seeking your input on the 'Above the Mud' Greenway Feasibility Study. This greenway project is exploring a possible connection from the Ecusta Trail to the Oklawaha Greenway and 7th Avenue. Please take a few minutes to respond to the following questions by April 30, 2024.
Take the Regional Hazard Mitigation Plan Survey
The South Mountains area is vulnerable to a wide range of natural and human-caused disasters that threaten the life and safety of residents and have the potential to damage or destroy property, disrupt the local economy, and impact the overall quality of life of individuals who live, work and vacation in the region. Henderson County, in coordination with other counties in the region, is working to update the Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Public input is an essential part of this plan. All interested residents are invited to participate in a survey to help the local governments develop the most effective and beneficial plan possible.

Regional Transportation Project Priority
Please take the regional survey for future transportation projects and tell us about your priorities -- we want to know what is most important to you regarding our roads, greenways, sidewalks, and public transit! This process will help inform the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). North Carolina is currently in the process of prioritizing transportation projects (roads, sidewalks/greenways, public transit, & rail) and choosing which ones to commit available funding to.
Your opinion is vital to this process!
