A gathering place and recreational complex
At the heart of the Tri-Villages on northern Hatteras Island is the Rodanthe-Waves-Salvo Community Building, a gathering place and recreational complex designed to enhance the quality of life for the residents and visitors in the communities of Rodanthe, Waves and Salvo. From voting to recreating and celebrating to learning and fundraising, this is where things happen in the Tr-Villages. We serve as a gathering place to facilitate community spirit.
Per designation of the North Carolina State Legislature, the RWS Community Building is a community center district funded by ad valorem taxes and run by a nonprofit board of directors. By law, the community center is for the use and benefit of all residents of the district. It provides a polling place for special and general elections and facilities for the health and welfare of the residents and community interests. Funds collected from the ad valorem tax for the RWS Community Building are for the sole purpose of maintaining the building, property and on-site recreational facilities.
