County appoints new Gaston Memorial board amid tax dispute

A Gaston County commission move to replace two sitting Gaston Memorial Hospital directors highlights a widening dispute over payments in lieu of taxes. The county, which owns the hospital site and leases much of it to CareMont Health for $1 per year, seeks more funds for education and services while CareMont points to charity care and bad debt relief totaling over $100 million annually. New board appointments are to be approved by the full commission, with one seat currently held by Richard Craig. Commissioner Jason Williams will serve as liaison, replacing Mickey Price who steps down.
