Board selects firms for aquatic center feasibility study; public input and fee increases expected
Summary
The Parks Board chose three firms to consider a feasibility study for a potential aquatic center, projecting a 5–6 month timeline with public input; staff also flagged expected pool fee increases and repairs needed to the lazy-river pump.
The Shrewsbury Parks Board reported on April 16 that it has selected three firms for consideration to conduct an aquatic center feasibility study, with staff estimating a 5–6 month project timeline that will include public input.
Board members were told that pool fee increases are anticipated this year; the minutes do not specify the proposed amounts or an effective date. During the Director’s Report, staff additionally noted a maintenance need: the aquatic center’s lazy river pump requires repair, and pumphouse doors show extensive rust while front stairs need repair or replacement. The minutes do not record a decision on funding for those repairs.
The feasibility study selection represents an early planning stage; the board’s next steps are to proceed with the study and to incorporate public feedback as the firms scope project options. The minutes do not include a formal vote tally for the selection.
