The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians recently broke ground on a million, 50,000 square foot bowling complex at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, North Carolina.
Eastern Band Principal Chief Patrick Lambert said, “We’ve all waited a long time for this day. There’s been a lot of people that have come before that have worked to get this day here. Today is a very important day for our tribe and our casino enterprise. Today, we break ground on a new facility, a new bowling center that will serve our people and our casino customers. This project has been a long time coming and it will be delivered completely debt-free.”
A joint venture between the tribe and Tribal Casino Gaming Enterprise, the bowling venue is expected to open late next year. Plans call for 24 bowling lanes on two floors, plus a bar, arcade and dining areas.
