The Recreation District Community Pool Project continues to move forward!

With the passage of 2A and 6B last year, voters approved capital construction for an indoor and an outdoor pool at the former Icabone Pool site.  While operational funding through a mill levy increase was not approved, the community’s support for authorizing new debt indicated interest in moving the pool project forward.

The first public meeting for the pool's design process was held on Monday, July 14th at Canon City Middle School.  The meeting was hosted by the design team from Barker Rinker Seacat (BRS).  They provided information on the design process and asked for input from the public on the elements they would like to see included in the pool facility.  The next public meeting will be held on August 26th with the location to be determined.
