The community building will serve as a multipurpose facility for the community to hold athletic events, entertainment, community and family dinners. The facility will also offer Cherokee art and cooking classes. The contribution is a portion of the 2019 Housing, Jobs and Sustainable Communities Act, which set aside $30 million to aid Cherokee citizens with housing repairs and upgrade community buildings.
