Very late meeting update: the Anderson community engagement meeting (to discuss plans for Beech Acres) was less formal than expected; more an open house. But look closely at the the photos with chips representing preferences.
The pool won hands down!!!
Survey-wise, the highest weight is being given to random surveys that were sent out by mail, of which 500 were returned, a good number. They have received a large number of volunteer surveys, thank you! These won’t count as much based on random survey requirements, but they are still important. The deadline for surveys is Sunday 8/24 at midnite. Encourage friends and family to fill them out, to communicate their desire for a pool!!!
Final thing, it’s very important that Park Levy passes in November. There is likely no pool without the levy. More info will be out soon. *** Let me clarify, the levy is for day to day operations of the park, like salaries and expenses, not big investmnts such as a pool. However, without funding for their operations, the district becomes significantly limited as an organization, if it would even survive. This would likely impact a lot of things moving forward, including big investments.
Thanks for your support! Beech Acres is currently our best option for a local destination pool. It’s HOT, and I know we continue to mourn Sunlite’s loss 😢 I love the Y, but sorely miss the ambience and essence of Sunlite.
