Habitat for Humanity moves closer to building homes in Kings Mountain
Habitat for Humanity in Cleveland County is one step closer to building homes in Kings Mountain. The Kings Mountain City Council voted at its October meeting to move forward with plans to convey several parcels of land at the north end of Myers Street to the Kings Mountain Redevelopment Commission, which will then transfer the property to the nonprofit. The developed homes will be the first in Kings Mountain for Habitat for Humanity. The process began in 2024, when the city identified the four parcels as a potential site for Habitat for Humanity homes. Since then, the city has been working to determine how to legally convey the property to the organization. In June, the city attempted to transfer the land through an upset bid process, but those plans were scrapped after Sundown Automotives submitted an unexpected bid of $3,000.
