Summary
On Feb. 24, 2026, council unanimously directed the city clerk to investigate an annexation petition for 416 Dixon School Road and approved a $1.4 million budget amendment to the Health Insurance Fund to record stop‑loss reimbursements.
Kings Mountain’s City Council unanimously adopted Resolution 26-01 directing the City Clerk to investigate the sufficiency of a voluntary contiguous annexation petition for a 2.356-acre property at 416 Dixon School Road, submitted by Roadside Truck Plaza, Inc. City staff said a Certificate of Sufficiency will be presented at the March 10, 2026 meeting and a public hearing scheduled for March 24, 2026.
Planning Director Henry Earle explained the normal first steps in the annexation process under North Carolina law; City Clerk Karen Tucker confirmed the clerk would issue the Certificate of Sufficiency on March 10 and prepare a resolution scheduling the March 24 public hearing. City Attorney Mickey Corry noted that the purpose of the council vote was to authorize the clerk to begin the sufficiency investigation.
