The City of Hendersonville 'squashed' a deal for OPPORTUNITY HOUSE that would have become a homeless clearing house.
Instead judge Knight approved the sale of the entire property by Brian Turner of NAI Beverly-Hanks.
The City agreed last fall to buy the property and 19,000 Square Foot Building for $505,000 and keep a 30% ownership interest. The property has a $2,117,900 tax value.
Neighboring businesses and homeowners objected to the plans for a Connection Center which would have housed up to a dozen non-profits, which led to the City backing down from their investment in the property.
