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 process began in 2024, when the city identified the four parcels as a potential site for Habitat for Humanity homes.

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.
