routinely last summer, question
ed the city’s use of over SI
million in HUD funds, including
$205,000 on the York Road pro
ject. According to the audit, the
city’s application stated the York
Road project would serve 269
residents including 169 in the
low and moderate income level.
HUD contended the line’s
primary use was to serve a York
Road industry.
The City of Kings Mountain
was cleared of 12 of the 14 fin
dings in March after submitting
last December a 400-page ex
planation to HUD about use of
the funds. The complicated audit
has required hundreds of man
powers both here and in HUD’s
Greensboro office to resolve.
City commissioners in March
approved paying back $8,975.22
in interest to HUD and
reprogramming SISJXX) credited
to other CD programs in the ci
ty. Both amounts related to cost
overruns in connection with the
York Rd. project which HUD
was questioning. City commis
sioners at the same time
authorized the Mayor to file a
notice of appeal to HUD’s
Washington, D.C. office but the
city never used its right of ap
peal.
