Gastonia leaders move slowly in spending money for water treatment plant

GASTONIA, N.C. — Gastonia city leaders are slow-moving in spending $136 million of taxpayer money to keep their water treatment plant up and running.

Leaders said they want to ensure each dollar is spent carefully.

Council members hired a firm to complete an engineering study by summer.

They said it will move the project from a general idea to a specific plan.
