Another great project our organization has supported is the new Sweetwater Community Center. The City provided an update during our quarterly meeting last week and we are proud to share the renderings for the project.

For Immediate Release-
🎉 SWEETWATER, SOMETHING EXCITING IS TAKING SHAPE! 🎉
🏗️ The City of Sweetwater is building something special right here in our nationally recognized downtown — the new Sweetwater Community Center! 💙💛
We are excited to see this vision becoming a reality and look forward to creating a space where our community can come together, stay active, connect with friends, and make lasting memories for years to come.
✨ What's coming to the Sweetwater Community Center?
🏀 A multi-use gymnasium with amenities for basketball, pickleball, and volleyball
💪 A fitness room to support health and wellness
🤝 Meeting rooms for gatherings, programs, telehealth visits, and community activities
🍽️ A fully equipped kitchen to support events and activities
This exciting project is being made possible in part through a Connected Communities Facility Grant from the State of Tennessee, helping us invest in the future of Sweetwater and create new opportunities for residents of all ages.
From fitness and recreation to meetings and special events, this center will be a place for our community to gather, grow, and thrive!
We can't wait to share more updates as construction progresses. Sweetwater's future is looking brighter than ever! 💙💛
