The states of emergency for the city of Henderson and Vance County have ended, just in time for the possibility of more winter weather heading this way for the weekend.
Vance County Board Chair Carolyn Faines ended Tuesday the county’s state of emergency that was put into effect in advance of last weekend’s predicted ice and snow storm.
In an official proclamation signed Tuesday and issued Wednesday morning, Henderson Mayor Melissa Elliott rescinded two states of emergency – one in response to weather conditions and a second enacted as a result of the recent events involving gun violence that included a 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. curfew.
“The conditions that prompted these declarations have abated, and the threats to public safety and welfare have diminished,” according to the proclamation issued by the mayor.
