Cherokee by Choice is a line that works for both industry and individuals, referring to a 74,000 square foot facility as well as hiking trails, schools and lakes. It’s a very broad, all-encompassing line that fits a capital campaign or the cover of a proposal. It's easy to say, and more importantly, easy to remember.
