BACKGROUND

The approved funding is to cover administrative salaries, administrative costs, operating costs, and capital projects, including vehicle replacements. For FY27, Gaston County is only requesting the administrative grant funding in the amount of $235,261, including a local match of $35,290. The total estimated amount requested is for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027.
