City of Gastonia residents and Two Rivers Utilities customers have an additional location to pay their monthly bills. An automated payment kiosk is now located at the Food Lion at 1024 W. Hudson Blvd. 
Other automated kiosks are at the Bi-Lo at 2601 S. New Hope Rd. and the Ganesha Food Mart at 1617 N. Chester St.
Gastonia Revenue Administrator Susan Kluttz says options for making automated payments were reduced when two Bi-Lo stores in Gastonia recently closed. “The City is grateful for the partnership with Food Lion at Hudson Corners. They agreed to let us to put a payment kiosk at that location, making it convenient for our customers as well as theirs.”
The three automated payment centers work much like bank ATMs. To make a payment, customers must have their 8-digit City of Gastonia billing account number and address information.
