TAHLEQUAH, Okla. — The United Keetoowah Band Housing Department celebrated the opening of its new 7,500-square-foot warehouse on the campus of the main UKB tribal complex last month. The primary purpose of the warehouse is to store all UKB Housing Department’s supplies, equipment, tools, etc., in one location.

The funds for the project came from ICDBG-ARPA Funding.

“Thank you to former Director Nancy McCause and former Assistant Director Charles Deason for getting this project started and thinking of the future needs of the Housing Department,” UKB Housing Director Roxana Wilden said. “And to Maska, Army Corps of Engineers, Housing staff and all those involved in the completion of this project. It certainly takes the effort of all those involved to make this, and other projects succeed for the UKB.”

UKB Chief Joe Bunch, Assistant Chief Jeff Wacoche, Treasurer Sonja Gourd, and Secretary Joyce Hawk were on hand to help celebrate this achievement.
