2. Soccer mismatch
A proposed soccer complex at Highland Lake Golf Course divided community members before finally being terminated by the Board of Commissioners in November.
In October, commissioners entered into an option-to-buy agreement to purchase the 65-acre property in Flat Rock for $1.15 million from Course Doctors Inc. The goal was to recoup the cost through a public-private partnership between the county and the Henderson County Soccer Association, which would share revenue generated from camps and tournaments hosted at the new park.
Strong opposition from residents in Flat Rock and surrounding communities and rejection of the county's plan by the Flat Rock Village Council forced commissioners to terminate the purchase.
Commissioner and former Chairman Mike Edney said the county and community should continue to pursue a soccer complex.
