About Gen H 

The City of Hendersonville is starting to develop a 2045 Comprehensive Plan to establish a long-term vision for sustainable growth and conservation.  The Comprehensive Plan is being referred to as Gen H, to encourage the community to think generationally about the future of Hendersonville. This plan will build on the foundation of the existing 2030 plan while updating and expanding the policy framework for the future. 

The Gen H Comprehensive Plan will provide guidance and recommendations for the following topics: 

  • Land Use and Growth 
  • Public Infrastructure 
  • Community Character, Cultural and Historic Resources 
  • Natural Resources, Sustainability, and Resiliency 
  • Parks, Recreation, and Public Spaces 
  • Downtown and other community-identified focus areas 
  • Community and Economic Development
