The new building will be 6,500 square feet, 1,500 square feet bigger than the old center. Before the Kenaitze Indian Tribe purchased the building more than ten years ago, it had been used as a general store, restaurant and pharmacy, said the tribe's Executive Director Jaylene Peterson-Nyren. The new center is within walking distance of the Dena'ina Wellness Center and is designed by Kahtnuht'ana Development Corp., a new corporation whose sole shareholder is the tribe, Peterson-Nyren said.
