Gastonia’s strategic location just minutes west of Charlotte and midway between Atlanta and the Research Triangle makes it a magnet for growth-minded enterprises. With major highways, interstates, railroads, and airports all within a 15-minute drive, logistics and commuting are seamless. The city’s proactive investment in infrastructure—including plans for light rail and the vibrant FUSE District—further enhances its appeal. The FUSE District, located between Loray Mills and Historic Downtown, is a hub of urban energy, blending residential, entertainment, retail, and green spaces into a walkable commercial destination.
