Gaston council adopts ADA transition plan

The Town of Gaston council voted to adopt an ADA transition plan by approving Resolution 2026-002 after a public hearing, the council said. The hearing was opened at 3:31 p.m., a motion to accept the resolution was made and seconded, and councilors recorded affirmative votes; there were no public speakers in attendance.

Councilors and staff said the plan was prepared by Kaiser Consulting Group as part of the town’s CCMG application and that the adoption responds to federal requirements. The resolution text cites the Americans with Disabilities Act (enacted 1990, as amended) and notes that communities receiving federal financial assistance must adopt a transition plan; the transcript records a draft date of the 18th of September and resolution number 2026-002. Staff agreed to finalize minor pieces of the plan and to post complaint forms on the town website so residents can access them.
