GASTONIA, N.C. — Gaston County officials say they will start offering appointment-based services at its administration building on Monday, December 7th to help reduce the spread of coronavirus.
Officials say the county will continue to offer drive-through tax bill payments on North Chester Street in Gastonia, eliminating the need for face-to-face contact, and non-cash payments can be left off at drop boxes located at the Gaston County Administration Office.
The drive-thru operates Mondays through Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., officials say.
Officials say the Gaston County Senior Center is operating on an appointment-only basis, the Gaston County library system continues to operate with in-person hours and curbside service, and the Gaston County Museum will remain open for in-person visits.
Gaston County Health Department locations, Gaston Countyβs Department of Social Services and the Gaston County Senior Center in Dallas will continue to require temperature checks and health questionnaires for all visitors, including employees, according to a news release.
Officials say the Veterans Services Office will only offer services over the phone or through email appointments, as most of their clientele are at high-risk, and will use a drop box to handle any documents being delivered.
