Peters Twp Council Still Mulling Aquatics Facility

May 14, 2019 6:37 pm

Peters Township Council is still trying to figure out just what to do about an aquatics facility. Council held a public hearing recently and was unable to really come to some consensus. What the meeting did do is bring out more questions than answers. Several self described younger residents attended the meeting and voiced strong support for a pool. Council is struggling with just what to build and when. Councilman David Ball wonders if spending $11 million dollars on an outdoor facility used 3 months a year is the right idea. Should a year round facility be under consideration? Council Chairman Frank Kosir is looking to make sure that what is built is what best suits residents now and in the future. He wants to make sure that whatever is built is something that everyone can be proud of 20 years from now. In an effort to answer some of these questions, council did authorize a marketing survey to be done.
