A major milestone in one of North Carolina’s largest construction projects — the Catawba Two Kings Casino in Kings Mountain — was celebrated Monday as crews placed the final beam atop the $1 billion development.
Despite rainy skies, dozens gathered to witness the topping-off ceremony, marking the completion of the building’s structural framework. For the Catawba Nation, it was more than just a construction achievement, it was a historic moment.
“We are witnessing something far greater than a construction process,” Catawba Nation Chief Brian Harris said. “We are witnessing a moment in our people’s history.”
