City plans new pool site near Free State school complex
City commissioners and School Superintendent Al Azinger discussed a joint aquatic center to be located just northwest of the school building near the gym and locker rooms. The plan envisions separate city parking, a long term lease framework, and costs to be funded by a 1994 county wide 1 cent sales tax. Developers debate size hours fees and construction schedule, with emphasis on a public lap swimming facility separate from high school use.
