SWIMMING POOL
The pool is now closed. We appreciate that everybody tried their best to ensure a smooth pool season. If someone forgot to pick up their float from the pool area before it closed they can get in touch with me and I will give them access to the pool area to claim their belongings

CITY OF HICKORY RE-ZONING
The City of Hickory recently sent out a notice concerning Rezoning Petition 22-12 for 1451 Eighth Street Drive NE and 705 Thirteenth Avenue NE, which includes Highland Recreation Center and Stanford Skate Park. The rezoning petition is to make a corrective change for these properties from residential zoning to institutional office zoning. This re-zoning will not change the usage of the properties.
According to Brian Frazier, Planning Director, the re-zoning petition is a correction process for zoning of a multiple number of city-owned parks that are incorrectly zoned over the years for residential, rather than institutional office. The properties were purchased using grant funds for parks and therefore must remain as parks into perpetuity and can never be used for other development.
