Selectmen mull funds for pool
Greenwich Time - Staff Writer
In an initiative that appears to be quickly gaining momentum, the Board of Selectmen could vote as early as tomorrow whether to accept as much as $75,000 in private donations for the engineering and design of a new community pool in Byram
Selectman Lin Lavery is pushing for the town to enter into a public-private partnership to build a new 50-meter swimming pool at Byram Park to replace an existing residential-size pool there that dates back about 70 years.
The Byram pool is the only public pool in town and is limited by health regulations to 40 occupants, forcing swimmers to wait on line to use it and leave after a short period....
But Wait There Is More From The Town Administrator That Hindered The Fake Beach Pass Investigations By Not Immediately Reporting The Felony To The Greenwich Police Department Detectives...
.... Joseph Siciliano, the town's parks director, said the prospect of building a new pool in Byram had been under discussion before Lavery took office in December. The town has earmarked $2 million in the 2011-12 fiscal year of its long-range capital plan toward the project.
"I think at this stage, Lin is looking at raising all of the money," Siciliano said. "Of course, that would expedite the project's schedule drastically if the money was to be raised all privately."
Siciliano said a new Byram pool would become an instant attraction for residents.
"Obviously, being that it's the only public swimming pool that the town has and is not attached to a school, there's been a desire out there to look at an upgraded facility," Siciliano said....
...Oh Joe, Please don't act like you are worried about the high taxes that the single family home owners and seniors have to pay, as a beach pass counterfeiter is running around Old Greenwich with pockets full of money that should be on deposit in the Town's Bank Account....
.... Throughout her campaign for selectman, Lavery said she was a firm believer in public-private partnerships and cited her experience as former president of the Junior League of Greenwich. The women's philanthropic organization has partnered with the town on a number of projects, including the installation of playground equipment in Bruce Park. Lavery said she hopes the pool project will only take a few years.
"It's way overdue," Lavery said. "Families have waited too long for this site to be restored and a pool built."
