White Salmon Council Sends Pool To Design Phase

The White Salmon City Council has sent a feasibility study for a new swimming pool on property across from Whitson Elementary School on to designers.  Mayor David Poucher says they are asking for a design that will include zero entry, which means the pool has an entry that gradually slopes into the water similar to a natural beach.  He adds the design will also include a therapy pool and a splash pad.  Poucher says the City plans to go to voters for a levy lid lift in February or March to pay for a portion of the project.  The City has about $600,000 in donations on hand, and is seeking a $750,000 grant from the state.
