A New Look for Gaston County

Welcome to Envision Gaston! We're taking a fresh look at the unincorporated areas of the County. Please take a moment to learn more about the process of creating our new comprehensive plan and stay tuned for future engagement opportunities.

While you're here, you can also join the mailing list to be the first to hear the latest news regarding planning and zoning developments in Gaston County.

Thank you to everyone who attended our August and October workshop sessions and to all who completed the online survey and the interactive mapping activity! Your input will inform the next steps of the planning process. As we turn our attention to our land use strategy and supportive actions, we want to hear your ideas for the future of Gaston County.

Affected property owners are not included in the planning process and often don’t know about projects until they are approved. Do better!

Sidewalks, Bike/pedestrian paths and greenways are great for neighborhoods not for rural/farm land. Creates liability for farmers

Educate people that farmland is not abandoned or under developed land! The fewer farms the county has, the more expensive food becomes!

While growth is necessary for the economy, it can be too aggressive. Private land shouldn’t be pre-selected and presented to developers.

“No Engine Brake” signs on Highland St between Hwy 27 and Rankin Ave. The trucks shake the houses and it’s so loud when they do this.

Sidewalks on Cherry St. in Belmont/Mount Holly. It is a cut through road and needs sidewalks to encompass the town motto.
