Lincoln County holds only one or two votes out of roughly 26-28 on the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln MPO, while Gaston County's 13 municipalities carry far more weight. Commissioners worry this puts the county behind the eight ball, though NCDOT noted Lincoln projects scored well on merit — five of the top 18.
