The plan envisions a zero depth entry area, toddler pool, splash pad, eight-lane lap pool, diving well and a runout slide near the community center behind solar panels. Costs and indoor options remain undecided with no set timeframe.

The Ohio Supreme Court ruled 6-1 that the proposed Athens County charter cannot appear on the November ballot, a decision also affecting Meigs and Portage counties. The justices backed the election boards and Secretary of State, saying the charters do not meet the required state law powers and duties for county government. The ruling rejects the First Amendment challenge to pre-election charter review.
