COST ALMOST 2 MILLION DOLLARS
OVER 600 TONS OF LEAVES COLLETED IN THE CITY THIS FALL
Concrete is being poured this week...as construction continues on the City of Hendersonville’s new public works building on Williams Street.
City spokeswoman Allison Nock says the $!.98 million building is being built by Cooper Constructions Company.,
The new building will provide office space for the public works department, and space for the ground and building maintenance crews for the city plus workshop space for maintenance crews and space for equipment repair.
A wood-working area and storage space will also be included in the new building. Lockers and a small training area for public works employees will also be included. A shed will be included to park city equipment under as well as a wash bay for that equipment.
Nock says the new public works building should be completed by this July, and fully up and running by mid-summer.
Hendersonville Public Works was busy this past fall with their annual leaf collection, collecting in October, through December a total of 605.8 tons of leaves, grass and debris. That collect ion is continuing, so if people have some that needs to be picked up, they can leave it curb side.
The spring leaf pick-up starts in March when city residents can leave their leaves, separate from their brush and city crews will be by to pick them up.
All that of course will be ground up into mulh and made available for the public. The dates for this yeaar’s mulch pick-up have not yet been set, but whtn they area they will be announced, on WHKP, on the city’s web site, and on social media and the public can pick up some.
