Why Not Just Reopen the Pool?

The pool is severely deteriorated and is no longer in a safe condition. 

In 2019 after the initial Community Campus community center planning project did not go forward,  the City asked our consultant for a cost estimate to renovate just the pool (not including any other buildings on the campus site).  The estimate provided to the City in 2019 for renovating the old pool was $9.5 million.   

It doesn't make sense to spend such a large amount of money to renovate a pool that would not meet the long-term needs of the community anyway, because it is not a large enough facility to include a warm water recreation pool in addition to a lap swim pool.
