Through a collaborative publicprivate approach, the Strategy is designed to fully leverage the County’s close proximity and access to CLT Airport and its Intermodal Center.  \nThe foundation for the Strategy lies in Gaston County’s strategic location and outstanding connectivity to Target Economic Sectorsand Development Opportunity Sites.  \nThe Strategy will inform and help guide Gaston County in longrange planning and economic development initiatives as they relate to CLT Airport by fulfilling the following objectives:  \n• Position Gaston County and its municipalities as the best option outside of Charlotte for CLT Airport and Intermodal Center-related development.  \n• Inform planning, economic development, and marketingbranding strategies.  \n• Identify development opportunities and catalyst projects within Gaston County’s municipalities to expand recruitment potential.  \n• Support the economic rationale for improving existing mobility corridors, creating new mobility and economic corridors, and unlocking developable land.  \n• Put Gaston County on the CLT Airport map for economic development initiatives and company recruitment.  \n• Provide a platform and framework for implementation.  \nThis Strategy has been prepared under the overall direction of a Steering Committee which includes senior representatives of the GGDC, Key Stakeholders from local governments, and CLT Airport. Funding for the Strategy was provided equally by GGDC members and local governments in Gaston County.  \nSTUDY TEAM:  \nHaving worked in over 50 countries around the world on similar assignments, MXD is a global leader in leveraging the connectivity at and around airports to identify Economic Cluster Activities, Airport Connected Development Opportunities, and Target End User Industries. MXD assembled a skilled and knowledgeable team that brought local insight and experience to the assignment:  \n• Kimley-Horn & Associates-Charlotte-based Transportation Planning, Infrastructure, and Engineering sub-consultant.  \n• Lyerly Agency-Belmont-based Stakeholder Engagement and Communication sub-consultant.  \nSTUDY AREA:  \nGaston County has a population of over 218,000, making it the fourth largest county in the Charlotte region and the 10th largest county in North Carolina. It has a rich history of textiles and manufacturing and features a mixed urban-rural landscape with many unique cities and towns.
