What construction projects are coming to Gaston County?

Gaston County permitted 153 projects with a declared construction value of $500,000 or more in the last six months, $220M in all. The largest filed more than 30 days ago: Shell space for ~187,000 sq ft building at 655 Pearsons ($27.0M); Fab-Tec 1 Story - Pre-Engineered Metal Building at 120 Gibson Court ($6.8M); Times Oil - New construction of #30 Convenience Store at 200 Beatty Drive ($2.6M).

Where does this list come from?

From Gaston County's building permit records. Every permit filed at one address in the last six months counts as one project, and its value is the largest construction value declared on those permits. A job whose address had a permit at least half as large in the 18 months before is an earlier project's tail, and is left out.

Why aren't the newest projects listed?

Projects first permitted in the last 30 days are counted here but listed only in TarSignal Pro — 17 of them right now, worth $90.8M. Pro has every permit the day it's filed; Gaston County's permit records don't name the contractor.

How to find upcoming construction projects in Gaston County

Start with the permits. A project can't start until its building permit is issued, and the permit names the address, the work, the declared value and usually the general contractor — months before a sign goes up.
Search Gaston County's Citizen Self Service portal. It's free: open it, search commercial and new-building permits filed in the last few weeks, and sort or scan for the large values.
Follow the general contractor. The GC on a permit is who hires the subcontractors and buys the materials. Call while they're still pricing the job, not once it's built.
Or let the list come to you. TarSignal reads Gaston County's permits every day, with the ones above and every smaller job, searchable by value, type and contractor.
