About
The Greer Community Facilities Association
The GCFA provides stewardship for both public and private use of the building.
mission
Provide and maintain a facility that brings the community of Greer together in order to enhance recreational, educational and business opportunities.
Beginnings
The entire Greer Meadow was once privately owned. As part of a trade agreement, the meadow lands were acquired for National Forest use, and a parcel of land (between Greer’s Main Street and the meadow) was designated for special community use. This is where the community center is currently built. As this land trade concluded in the 1990s, a nonprofit group was created to provide stewardship for the property. This group is known as the “Greer Community Facilities Association”(GCFA).
