Our Mission

The mission of the City of Gastonia Planning Department is to improve the quality of life, now and in the future, for the people living and working within the planning area. This will be accomplished through the identification of solutions; the formulation of community goals, objectives, policies, and projects; to the end that common vision is achieved through an open civic process. Further, it is our mission to carry our certain programs and projects through public investment, public-private cooperation, volunteer efforts, and enforcement in order to promote the viability and orderly development of the community, provide public service, and to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.
