Director's welcome
Our vision is taking shape – thanks to many hands
Edna Chirico
Executive Director
The Catawba River District has come a long way since business leaders, conservationists and residents conceived it in 2008. Their belief then, and ours now, is that growing places thrive long-term when they voluntarily live in harmony with nature.
As you explore this website you will learn that the River District is both a physical place along the Catawba River AND the growing network of groups who share this vision. We recently added Presbyterian Healthcare and Huber Technology, as Partners.
Our projects range from supporting wise choices at home and work to building a network of science- and math-oriented learning labs, open to all, to help our learners become successful adults.
We have a lot of enthusiasm and ideas. We need just one thing – you! Contact us and learn how you can get involved!
