Advisory Committee wants to demolish the

The City of Hot Springs has given up it's plans
to demolish our Tribal/Culteral center.

The Sentinel-Record in Hot Springs, AR.
In other business, the board voted unanimously against
condemning the Cherokee Nation, a future trading post style
center across the street from the Hot Springs Civic &
Convention Center. The resolution was proposed by the civic
center project advisory committee whose members criticized
the exterior.
"It was totally as I expected," said Chief White Eagle, of the
Cherokee Nation, following the vote. "But it is more than I
expected in the sense that many spoke from the heart that what
we are trying to do is good."
After several spoke against the proposal, Oxford called the
resolution an embarrassment and would apologize to the
Cherokee Nation.
Maruthur said the center could enhance the area, but the city
shouldn't dictate to business owners about the appearance.
Wheeler, a member of the review committee, said the board
shouldn't take any action until after the building is completed.
"I hope we are surprised the right way," Wheeler said.
Thank you all for your support.
