Belmont greenway moves forward after long delay
Belmont wins state approval to create the Belmont rail trail linking downtown to Belmont Abbey College along the old railroad corridor. The project will begin with a design phase this fall and aims to improve safety for pedestrians including students crossing to Sisters of Mercy. Easements from four landowners enable the first leg from the college to Sisters of Mercy, with later phases planned toward downtown.

Budget plans raise grave concern for Gaston College
Gaston College faces potential $2.3 million state funding cuts under a House proposal, with the president Patricia Skinner warning of an erosion of resources. The college, serving Dallas Belmont and Lincolnton, notes enrollment shifts and relies on state money for staff. Senate backing appears kinder, but a compromise is pending.
