Session to explore prospect of science center on the Tuck

A discussion about creating a science discovery center along the Tuckasegee River will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 12, at the Fairfield Inn and Suites across from Harrah’s Cherokee Casino.

This brainstorming meeting is open to those wanting to discuss the educational components of such a center. This is the first of three workshops intended to produce a feasibility report on the center. The second and third workshops will involve government and business sectors, respectively, and they will be held later in the summer.

A final general meeting will be held to inform the public about the progress made toward establishing a center. Light meal will be served. RSVP requested.

We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home.
