• Gaston County Schools Suffer the Consequences as Gaston County's Value Grows (wisenewsnetwork.com) — Rising property values in Cherryville and across Gaston County are driving higher tax bills for homeowners and businesses, even with lower tax rates. That growth has pushed Gaston County over a funding threshold, costing Gaston County Schools $7.2 million in state “low wealth” aid and triggering a countywide hiring freeze that could affect staffing at local schools.
