The North Pool, built 26 years ago, is listed on the plan, because it's deteriorating. Councilors agreed to provide funds on a condition the Parks Department cannot ask for additional funds until money from outstanding grants is secured. Instead, the department was told to use grant money to fund future projects. In addition to purchasing the Taylor Property, the department also must hire a consultant to create a master plan for the property. Parks Department and Arcadia officials will hold a public meeting later this month to discuss the town's preference for the pool.
North pool is the second public swimming facility in the county facing renovations.
The Forest Park Aquatic Center in Noblesville could undergo similar renovations and expansion this year.
