Foley Moves Ahead With Plans For Aquatics Center

Work is scheduled to start following the completion of construction plans on an indoor Aquatics Center that will provide year-round recreation for Foley swimmers. The center will be built in Max Griffin Park near the site of the outdoor pool that has served the city since 1953. The new pool will allow local swim teams, children and other residents to use the facility throughout the year. The current pool will remain open while the aquatics center is under construction and be replaced with a different facility afterward. City officials hope to go out for bids on construction later this year. The project is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete after construction begins.
