Yearly memberships are available for individuals and families, and membership fees will help the facility remain solvent.Quality recreation facilities are attractive features for people, young and old, looking to relocate to a community. They also go a long way toward keeping families here.Though the pool has stirred up controversy and has been met with conflicting views, its opening signifies a new beginning.The new aquatic center will be a positive for this community for years to come.
