Gaston County Board of Commissioners Meeting November 10, 2026

The November 10, 2026 combined work session and regular meeting of the Gaston County Board of Commissioners included several capital-project decisions. Commissioners unanimously authorized a $1.3 million reappropriation for future capital expenditures, awarded a construction contract to Cinderella Partners, Inc., and approved completion of the Administration Annex project. They also approved transferring $12 million from the Community Investment Fund to the General Government Capital Fund for the Health Department major renovation and expansion, along with a reimbursement resolution; opposition was recorded. For the Public Safety Campus, the Board approved continuing the grant application process and using previously appropriated design funds to resume and complete design, on a 5–1 vote. Staff noted the county had not received the MCI grant and that abandoning the campus could require repayment of about $7 million in ARPA funds. The Board also unanimously approved an $85,000 reappropriation to amend Moseley, Inc.’s contract for jail-expansion staffing, operating-cost, maintenance, and utility estimates, and requested a consultant presentation to inform a later decision on the project.
