Manchester gets a week's reprieve on pool decision
Manchester Rutland House Construction Corp extended the contract deadline to Oct 10 for the recreation area swimming pool project. Federal BOR funds 50 percent and state at least 25 percent will cover most costs, leaving 25 percent to be raised locally. The total budget is 304,789 dollars with Rutland House bidding 222,545 for the pool. A fund drive plan aims to raise about 55,000 dollars locally, plus 22,000 for remaining costs, aided by turning Rotary Swimming Pool Inc assets over to the town. Officials seek a line of credit to cover the town share until fundraising succeeds, hoping to decide by Wednesday.
