Commissioner urges larger Greystone Park allocation, cites no-asbestos report
Summary
At the Town of Nolensville public hearing on Sept. 4, Commissioner Victor said an environmental report found no asbestos in the old Greystone Park bathhouse and urged raising a proposed FY26 budget allocation to better cover tennis court remediation, bridge work and removal costs.
The Town of Nolensville opened a public hearing on Ordinance 25-29, a proposed amendment to the fiscal year 2026 budget, on Sept. 4. Commissioner Victor said the town received an environmental report indicating “there is no asbestos in that building,” referring to the former Greystone Park bathhouse, and outlined related remediation needs.
The comment came during the public hearing; Victor said the current proposed amendment would reduce an earlier allocation from 250 (thousand) to $100,000 but that contractors’ estimates for tennis court remediation run “somewhere between 30 and 50” (thousand). He asked the board to consider amending the figure at second reading next month to $150,000 so the town could cover a pedestrian bridge, demolition and remediation of the tennis courts and bathhouse, additional asbestos testing, and the cost of preparing an RFP. He added that the town has asked Terracon to perform additional testing and likely to prepare the RFP for removal.
The mayor closed the public hearing with no other speakers. No vote was taken on Ordinance 25-29 at the hearing; the remark was recorded as input for the board’s decision-making before second reading. The commissioner framed the proposed $150,000 figure as the board’s way to provide “ample room” for the listed tasks, citing contractor estimates and the need for testing and procurement work.
The board did not take formal action on the ordinance during the hearing. The next procedural step identified on the agenda is the ordinance’s second reading and any associated vote at a future meeting.
Clarifying details in the hearing record include: the environmental report cited by the commissioner stating there was no asbestos in the Greystone Park bathhouse; contractor estimates for tennis court remediation of about $30,000–$50,000; a proposed adjustment of the budget allocation discussed as $150,000 (the transcript contains a numeric transcription irregularity rendered as “$1.50,” which the commissioner framed verbally as one hundred fifty thousand dollars in context); and Terracon’s involvement for testing and likely RFP support. The public hearing record shows no public opposition or additional information was provided at the time.
