加斯顿龙正在发生伟大的事情! 6月, 爱心小组, one of the largest and fastest growing landscaping firms in the country, moved administrative offices from Charlotte to a new location: the 132-year-old former Craig & 加斯顿尼亚市中心的威尔逊大厦. Loft apartments by the Carriage Company occupy the upstairs of the historic building located at 100 W. 主要大街.
的 Carriage Company and the City of Gastonia partnered in 2008 for redevelopment of the building utilizing funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program. In 2017, 爱心小组 purchased the ground floor of the building from the City of Gastonia, officially moved administrative offices this summer, and plans for expansion with the recent purchase of an adjacent building.
前克雷格的再开发 & Wilson building is just one of many success stories in Gastonia. 来自美国的统计数据.S. Census Bureau show the city’s population has grown from 47,从1980年的218到76,593 in 2017, 增幅超过62%.
