Published Date: 3/28/2025

Notice

Summary

Spencer Mountain Hydropower wants to renew its license to keep running a small hydroelectric project near Gastonia, North Carolina. The government will prepare an environmental check to make sure the project won’t harm the area, and they’ll ask the public for their thoughts in June 2025. This process helps local folks, landowners, and community groups stay in the loop and share their opinions before any final decisions are made.
