Aquatic Center Discussion

The PFD Board has been studying the possibility of a local aquatic center for the last few years; a change in state law (which occurred in 2019) was required for the PFD to proceed with a local proposal.  Read the background via the Tri-City Herald.

A Special Meeting and Open House were held in October 2019 to update the 2016 Aquatic Center feasibility study and to get public comment.
