What We Do
We work with different groups to improve the quality of life in Gaston County.
We address complex needs and issues in the County. We facilitate fair, honest discussions about people’s concerns. We also offer ways for the community to learn about the issues impacting the county. To address these problems, we work with different groups in the county to decide what to fix first and enact solutions through programming.
