The new parking deck in downtown Hendersonville is officially open. Hendersonville officials cut the ribbon on the facility Wednesday afternoon.
The deck is half a block from Main Street, making it easily accessible. Leaders said they are excited to give residents and visitors more convenient parking to enjoy the downtown area.
"We've had, over the years, so many questions and complaints that there's no place to park downtown. So, this is our answer. We're half a block off Main Street, just a straight shot. You can get up to Main Street without having to climb any hills and just wander up and down and enjoy this wonderful town," Hendersonville Mayor Barbara Volk said.
The city is delaying the start of on-street parking fees until Friday to give city council members the chance to approve parking ordinance changes and a new parking map at their meeting Thursday.
Metered on-street parking and paid hourly parking in surface lots and the parking deck are set to begin at 4 a.m. Friday, March 3.
