Gaston County reallocates ARPA funds to two waterline projects
Summary
The Board approved transferring unused American Rescue Plan Act funds to two waterline projects: connecting Tryon Elementary/Tryon Park to municipal water and linking water service between Dallas and High Shoals; the county noted ARPA spending totals more than $43 million.
The Gaston County Board of Commissioners approved transferring unused American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to two local waterline projects, communications director Adam Gobb said.
Gobb described two projects: one to connect Tryon Elementary, Tryon Park and a nearby community to municipal water service and another to connect water service between the towns of Dallas and High Shoals. "Gaston County has a number of ongoing projects being paid for by American Rescue Plan Act dollars, over $43,000,000 in federal money," Gobb said.
Gobb clarified the county does not directly operate water and sewer utilities; the county will use federal money to build required upgrades and then turn the work over to city-run utility providers. The transcript identifies approval of the fund transfer but does not record exact vote tallies or specific dollar amounts allocated to each waterline project.
The county did not specify implementation schedules or contractor details in the meeting summary; residents seeking project schedules should consult official county postings.
