Soco Sewer Line

This project covers the last 2 miles of Soco Creek with sewer line.  The existing sewer line is inadequate to handle the new flow that will be coming from the Casino expansion and new housing from Rough Branch down through U.S. Highway 19 and the Wolftown and Painttown communities.  The sewer line will begin at or near the Wendy’s in Cherokee and follow Soco Creek past Food Lion on to where it meets the Oconaluftee River.

Transportation Building

This facility houses the Cherokee Transit Department who is responsible for bus, van and mass transit on the reservation.
