Friends of the Pool report $71,617 raised toward $220,000 goal; repairs expected to extend pool life
Summary
Friends of the Pool told the Parks & Recreation Commission they have raised $71,617 toward a $220,000 target to reopen the pool this season; additional pledged donations are not yet counted and repairs could extend the pool's life by five to seven years.
At the March 11 Parks & Recreation meeting, a representative identified in the minutes as Suzzane with Friends of the Pool told commissioners the group had raised $71,617 as of the previous night toward a $220,000 target to reopen the pool this year.
The minutes note additional donations have been pledged but will not be added to the total until funds are received. Suzzane said the repairs they are planning should prolong the life of the existing pool by about five to seven years while Friends of the Pool continues to strategize about a new pool and a potential new site. The minutes record optimism about reaching the $220,000 goal but do not list a timeline for when the group expects to complete fundraising or begin repairs.
The commission received the report as an update; no formal vote or allocation of town funds appears in the minutes. The skatepark was listed in the agenda item heading, but the minutes contain no substantive skatepark update beyond the Friends of the Pool fundraising report.
