Gaston Courthouse parking costs and deck plan stalled
More than a decade of metered parking at Gaston County’s courthouse has yielded about $1.1 million, far short of a proposed 300 plus space deck costing roughly $6 million plus engineering. Officials note the shortfall and slow progress toward funding a multilevel garage while current lots hold 205 spaces with 179 open to the public and county workers.
