rom repurposing existing buildings to fine-tuning plans for new facilities, the City of Belmont is well-positioned for an exciting future of growth. “We’re really building this recreational hub,” City Manager Adrian Miller said, citing numerous upcoming plans including a recreation center, a dog park and an outdoor skateboard facility. Many of these plans have been hatched from the city’s new administration building, which previously served as the public works headquarters. While completing a renovation that included more energy-efficient features and windows to overlook the Catawba River, the building officially opened in late 2020.
