GASTONIA, N.C. — The Gastonia Honey Hunters baseball team has made progress on repaying various entities in the area, according to city officials who shared details with WCNC Charlotte on Friday.
A spokesperson for the city of Gastonia confirmed the team made a full payment of $88,038.75 through Velocity Capital, LLC on Thursday. That amount covers the year's lease payment, management fees, and stage overage for the Honey Hunters.
WCNC Charlotte previously reported the team also owed roughly $22,000 to Gaston Emergency Medical Services (GEMS), and was working on completing a repayment plan with Gaston County. A county spokesperson told WCNC Charlotte on Friday the team is continuing to follow the agreed-upon payment plan and that GEMS is still providing staff at home games. To note, GEMS said the team repaid half of what was owed Friday afternoon.
WCNC Charlotte has reached out to the team for comment and further confirmation but has yet to hear back from a spokesperson.
