Gastonia stadium plan divides residents over fate of historic district
City seeks approval to buy 16 acres for 3.24 million and spend 1.7 million on cleanup to build a 10 to 15 million baseball stadium as the anchor for a Fuse district linking downtown, Loray Mill and the York Chester area. Supporters tout economic redevelopment while opponents fear demolishing historic buildings including Sears and Budget Inn. Local critic stresses preserving Trenton Mill and Coca‑Cola plant.
