Cherokee aquatic center plans progress
Cherokee County is down to five contractors for an aquatics center on Sixes Road, said County Commissioner Jason Nelms.
The center will be the first capable of hosting large swim meets and will have indoor and outdoor pools. The county is also asking for a proposed business and revenue plan to see how much operating the center will cost. That could affect decisions about when to build it. Christopher Quinn
