A Little About Gastonia
Gastonia is the biggest city in the county and was built on textiles — the Loray Mill still anchors the west side. Crowders Mountain State Park sits on the county line and gives the western edge of town its steeper ground.
Why that matters on a job site
City stormwater review adds real time to a commercial schedule. We flag that at the estimate rather than three weeks into the job.
