Local pool organizers ask commissioners for letter of support for $615,000 Land and Water Conservation match
Summary
Organizers of the Smiler pool project asked Carter County commissioners for a letter of support for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant; full application invites up to 10 letters and could match up to $615,000 in county funds to expand pool facilities.
Representatives seeking funding for an expanded community pool told Carter County commissioners they were selected to submit a full application for the Land and Water Conservation Fund and asked the board for a letter of support. The presenter said the full application requires up to 10 letters from entities and that the grant would provide dollar-for-dollar matching funds up to $615,000 to expand pool amenities and facility elements.
Commissioners expressed support, said they had previously allocated some funds to the project and asked the organizer to email application details to county staff (Melissa) so the county could provide a formal letter. Organizers noted a tight timeline for submission and said demolition and bidding could proceed if the grant is awarded.
