A long-awaited ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Rogers Road Community Center in Chapel Hill will finally take place Saturday morning.

Members of the Rogers Road Community Association will be there, liley joined by members of the Orange County Board of Commissioners, representatives from Habitat for Humanity, and elected officials from Chapel Hill and Carrboro.

The ceremony takes place at 9 a.m. at 101 Edgar Drive, just off Eubanks Road.

Citizens are also invited to stay for a Community Celebration, with refreshments and entertainment from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m.

The new community center replaces the old one on Purefoy Drive that was closed in 2012 for failing to satisfy safety regulations.
