From what I heard at the public meeting, this isn’t really about creating a town pool. Instead, it would be about leasing the land to a private company that would then build a pool. Residents could become members of the club and use the pool (maybe with a slight town discount) or hope for occasional public swimming hours. I’m confused about why the town bought the land in the first place, and why we’re spending $50K to study whether a private concern should build a pool.
