The City of Hendersonville will be hosting a Stormwater Public Input Meeting on Tuesday, August 18, 2020, from 5:30 pm – 7:00 pm. Stormwater Administrator Michael Huffman will provide an update on the City’s ongoing Stormwater Rate Study and provide an opportunity for the public to ask questions and provide feedback.
“The City’s Stormwater Division would like to provide the public with an opportunity to learn more about the City’s Stormwater Program and proposed changes to the Stormwater Utility Fee,” said Michael Huffman. “This is also an opportunity for the public and various stakeholders to provide feedback on the proposed changes to the Stormwater Utility and overall program management.”
