- ➤ The Hendersonville Parks Department applied for a state grant to fund over $6.5M in improvements to local parks—plans include a new inclusive playground at Sanders Ferry Park, upgraded facilities at Drakes Creek and Veterans Parks, and other updates; if approved, the city will match the funds with $2M in cash and $2.6M in land, and a decision is expected in August.

- ➤ Sumner County’s Recovery Court, directed by Tracye Bryant since 2003, has saved the county roughly $15,000 a year by helping nonviolent offenders get support, gain jobs, and avoid jail time. The program is planning to renovate 8,000 sq ft of old courthouse space — to be shared with the Sheriff’s Department — which will create a more secure and centralized facility for testing, classes, and court meetings. Hendersonville Standard
- ➤ At its meeting on April 8, the Hendersonville Board of Mayor and Aldermen postponed the vote on an ordinance requiring registration, inspection and monitoring of vacant commercial and industrial buildings.
