Our New Brand
For more than a century, the North Carolina League of Municipalities has been the trusted voice for cities and towns. That’s why today more than 540 municipal governments of all sizes stand together as League members.
But a lot has transpired since the League’s founding as a federation of cities in 1908, and our collective success is rooted in our ability to evolve with the times. We’re still the League you know and trust, but with a fresh approach for today. It comes with a new logo, a new tagline, and a strengthening of values.
Southern City is a magazine for and about North Carolina municipalities. It is published bi-monthly by the North Carolina League of Municipalities and distributed to more than 5,000 municipal officials and other keeping track of the news and trends affecting NCLM and its member cities and towns. This flagship publication, seen in city and town halls across North Carolina, provides a forum for municipalities and the officials who work in them to shine.
Trust Matters is a quarterly publication that focuses on the League's Risk Managment Services. The goal of the newsletter is to inform participants in each of the League's insurance pools about news relating to the programs and to provide helpful information that participants can use in their administration of the programs.

City Spotlight

Gastonia, NC

Great things are happening in Gastonia! In June, The Loving Group, one of the largest and fastest growing landscaping firms in the country, moved administrative offices from Charlotte to a new location: the 132-year-old former Craig & Wilson building in downtown Gastonia. Loft apartments by the Carriage Company occupy the upstairs of the historic building located at 100 W. Main Ave.

The Carriage Company and the City of Gastonia partnered in 2008 for redevelopment of the building utilizing funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Neighborhood Stabilization Program. In 2017, The Loving Group purchased the ground floor of the building from the City of Gastonia, officially moved administrative offices this summer, and plans for expansion with the recent purchase of an adjacent building.

The redevelopment of the former Craig & Wilson building is just one of many success stories in Gastonia. Statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau show the city’s population has grown from 47,218 in 1980 to 76,593 in 2017, an increase of more than 62 percent.
