Important Note: for organizations based in Cherokee County with an emphasis on the arts, history, cultural and historic resources, and the natural environment: the updated heritage development plan will be used by a variety of regional and state entities to identify and find ways to support Cherokee County's heritage development initiatives and achieve the economic benefits of heritage and eco-tourism. It will serve as the reference for Cherokee County's priority initiatives being undertaken by local governments, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, community clubs and associations, and other community development oriented entities.
If your organization has any role to play in heritage development, please make sure it's actively represented in the process. The resulting plan document will be the authoritative reference for Cherokee County, and will include:
(1) a roster of contact and other important information about heritage development related organizations based in Cherokee County;
(2) an inventory of sites and attractions;
(3) a calendar of major annual events;
and most important:
(4) summaries of priority projects requiring funding support now, or in the future ("brick and mortar" as well as other program or development funds).
If your organization has not received the input forms package, Gabby Hudson says call her at the Chamber of Commerce (828-837-2242) and she'll be happy to oblige.
