Projects include a school linked indoor pool at Free State High, a gym expansion at a West 15th Street elementary, shared use of school gymnasiums for city recreation, and possible funding for a downtown parking garage to serve the library and senior center. The outdoor pool’s popularity has raised parking challenges that affect patrons and classes.
