Subject: 10.8 Acres of Recreational Land for Sale in Kings Mountain, North Carolina Just passed this property tonight. It is right before the Dump on Margrace. Saw a damaged for sale sign up so I checked it out. It is under contract with the sale pending. I am wondering if my neighbor was referring to this property when she mentioned Pakistani’s were buying property on Margrace? Could this also be the newest stop for the express train going from CLT to ATL? Maybe not just for commuters to get to work but for casino players?
Your stories are bold and have been coming true! Thank you for what you do for our county!

When you click on this link you see that this 10.8-acre pending property sale is for $2.1 Million$ dollars and the property is directly adjacent to the Midpines (IN)Convenience Center. A county-owned property that Robert A has previously speculated that some insider wheelers and dealers are trying to buy the Midpines site from the County, CHEAP, and then “flip” the property for a huge profit for themselves. Minus whatever cheap “fee” or ”bribe” the Commissioners can be bought off for. Such “fees” or “bribes” may already be paid to certain Commissioners and perhaps others in the form of big campaign re-election signs and Billboards that have already sprung up all around Cleveland County.
This speculation by Robert A is also backed-up by certain incriminating actions by the County Commissioners:
- According to the Commissioners previous statements, the Midpines property is not worth very much.
- The Commissioners refused to allow Robert A’s request to personally visit the property and inspect for himself the problems the Commissioners “claimed” were safety hazards. And shut down Midpines for an extended period of time “in the best interest of safety”. And, when repairs were finally made, they were minor and called temporary by the Commissioners. Just from pictures printed by the Shelby Star, Robert A, a Degreed Engineer determined that the so-called safety problems were minor and simple repairs by county employees only could have (and still could bring Midpines back to full operational capacity in a very short amount of time.
- Now, the preliminary plans for AMTRAC or other railroad projects that would come to this very same location, if approved and funded, are exactly the circumstances that would encourage “land flips” as Robert Ahas described.
- Such land-flips, especially involving the old County owned “trash dump” and other actions related to garbage pickup and disposal are common place in Cleveland County. In fact, one of Robert A’searliest articles was in regard to a property owned by Gardner Webb that was flipped to Cleveland County with a “Middleman” who doubled his money in the process. And all records were available at the Register of Deeds Office to prove the facts of the matter. The Property was sold by Gardner Webb to the middleman, and exactly one minute later (as shown on the time stamps) the middleman sold the property to Cleveland County at over double his purchase price. Note that Robert A’s original article mentioned all the names that were involved. And the Commissioner Chairman was also on the Board of Trustees at Gardner Webb. Rumors have it that the middleman counted out $108,000.00 on the Commissioner Chairman’s bed at his home to settle the deal.
Robert A, when elected to the CC Board of Commissioners, promises to restore the Midpines Recycling Center back to full functionality and capacity as soon as possible. And only if and when it becomes the best interest of Cleveland County citizens to sell this property, it will only be sold in open and advertised sales that will bring about the most value for the property. No more secret middlemen and behind closed-door secret deals.
The solution for these kinds of problems in Cleveland County is as follows:
Elect Robert A Williams for Cleveland County Commissioner in 2024.
The Sign that can’t be bought, ran over or stolen!!!
