Cedar Grove Community Club thanks Walker County Commissioner Bebe Heiskell for her help in erecting their new building in the Cove.Cedar Grove Community Club welcomed the community to view its new building April 16.
Walker County Coordinator David Ashburn described the building as a large gym with volleyball nets mounted in the floor and two basketball goals, plus a professional kitchen and two meeting rooms.
“It’s a community shelter and works off a generator with water and sewer,” he said. “It will serve as a shelter during disasters. It was a $1.4 million SPLOST project. We built one just like it in Villanow. Cedar Grove Community Club went out and toured the one in Villanow that has a fire station. They actively lobbied to have it put on SPLOST. The majority voted for it.”
Cedar Grove Community Club member Sam Bowman said he is really excited about the club’s new building, which has a fire station next door.
“It’s something we can be proud of,” agreed fellow club member John Perra.
