GASTONIA, N.C. — Two Gastonia ministries are teaming up to create one of the largest drug-recovery facilities in the state.

Doug Lance, of Cornerstone Christian Center, is championing an effort to refurbish the building and make it a 90-day in-house recovery unit. They are working with City Church in Gastonia to try and make it happen.
He said it will be a safe place where people can get clean and get jobs.
