BACKGROUND
The purpose of this grant is to help find the fun in our community and translate ideas into action by identifying creative ways to encourage citizens to invest some of their identity in the place in which they live, work and play. This project has come about through City and County planner’s discussions of ways to make the Gaston County Administration Building feel more accessible, supportive, friendly and beautiful for all the community using this space as a pilot placemaking project, as it is a heavily utilized entrance. This Grant will be used to purchase materials necessary for the completion of the project.
