On Tuesday, April 23 the Lumbee Tribe of N.C. held a ribbon cutting to celebrate the first 3 homes being completed in the Pine Needle Senior Village off Highway 130. Chairman John L. Lowery, current and former Tribal Council members, the Rowland Administrative Team and Robeson County Commissioners cut the ribbon and presented keys to the first three elders to move into the neighborhood. There will be 23 homes built in the community, which is located less than a mile from Interstate 95 and just outside the Town of Rowland. The rental homes are 1200 square feet and have two bedrooms and one bath. The Lumbee Tribe opened the administration building in 2023. Pine Needle Senior Village is one of two Lumbee Tribe Communities which are currently under construction, with another site in the development stage.
