The White Salmon Valley Pool Metropolitan Park District will hold a virtual town hall meeting on Thursday evening to update the public on the status of efforts to construct a new swimming pool in White Salmon.  Much of the design work has been done for the pool and associated facilities that would be constructed in a first phase, but the district board voted to take a pause the development process last month.  Board member Steve Harris says that’s because their consultants have given them updated numbers showing the estimated cost to build the pool of $5.7 million reached last August has gone up by 28 percent, to $6.7 million.  The district has been fundraising in an effort to get the pool built.  Thursday’s meeting begins on Zoom at 7 p.m.  To take part go to whitesalmonvalleypool.org.
