UPDATE: Trenton Park Pool Closure.

TOWN OF TRENTON NOTICE
Town Council Clarifies Status of Outdoor Pool;
Invites Proposals to Save Facility

Trenton Town Council wishes to clarify for residents that a final budget decision has not been made regarding the proposed closure of the outdoor pool. A recent press release was to inform residents that after an initial review of Town finances, Council was moving in the direction of closing the pool to balance the budget, without raising taxes.

Given that Town Council has heard concern from the public regrading the outdoor pool, before any final decision is made during the upcoming budget deliberations, Council will be inviting innovative proposals or partnerships from individuals, community groups and local organizations aimed at keeping the pool operational.

Staff are currently compiling an outline of pool expenses for anyone that would like to propose an alternative solution. An announcement of the background information and the proposal submission process will be forthcoming in the near future.

“We have heard the community’s passion for our outdoor pool and we are listening,” says Mayor Dove. “Budget discussions require us to look at every line item, but no final decisions have been made. We know how much this facility means to families and we want to give our community every opportunity to collaborate with us on a viable solution to keep the pool open.”
