The Gaston County Board of Commissioners approved funding in the FY 20-21 budget to complete ADA improvements and pavement repairs at various County facilities.

Tindale Oliver previously conducted an in-depth study of various County Facilities and provided ADA remediation recommendations to Gaston County. Based on the results of that study, Wood.

The project was publicly advertised on July 12, 2020 and a bid opening was scheduled for July 31, 2020.
