Hi friends! Just a quick note from me before you head into today's edition:

My time with you has been wonderful, and the community we've built here is so supportive and lovely. That being said, I've decided that my time with Patch has come to a close, so this will be my last day with you. I am grateful for every single email I've received over the past two years and I'm proud to have been a tiny part of helping so many of you connect with the community. As of Monday, someone else will be in your inbox. Rest assured, they'll be fantastic. Make sure to give them the same Rocket City love I've been shown, and I'm sure it'll be seamless. Without further ado, here's (for the very last time) everything you need to know headed into today, including:

  • Decatur City Hall received all clear
  • Phase 3 of Sandra Moon Community Complex
  • Zierdt Road rezoning denied

Today's newsletter is sponsored by Aire Serv

How to ensure you have comfortable, clean air in your home

Home heating and A/C has come a long way. Old systems used simple slide-in box filters that captured only large particles and that any do-it-yourselfer could change.

Today's systems are more sophisticated — and much more effective. They utilize electrostatic or even HEPA filters, UV and UVC light to kill mold, bacteria and viruses. The result is much cleaner indoor air — a boon for pet owners, people with allergies and anyone concerned about airborne pathogens, like Covid.

But to take advantage of this technology for your home, you need the highest quality HVAC experts and technicians. That's where the folks at Aire Serv of Huntsville come in. Scott Taylor and his team have over 30 years of experience in HVAC systems and work with the latest technology. They can install a new air quality system, or — for just $13.25 a month — maintain your current system, to make sure it's running efficiently.

As a member of the Neighborly family of companies, Aire Serv offers up-front pricing, red carpet customer service and the 'Done Right Promise': if you're unhappy for any reason, call within 60 days and Aire Serv will make it right.

For clean air in your home, reach out to Scott and the Huntsville Aire Serv team today.

  5. At Tuesday's meeting, the Huntsville Planning Commission voted to reject the rezoning of a portion of Zierdt Road.
