City of Pawtucket to Host Public Meeting on Veterans Memorial Pool Improvements
PAWTUCKET – The City of Pawtucket is inviting residents to a public meeting to discuss planned changes and improvements to the Veterans Memorial Pool, located in Veterans Memorial Park in the Fairlawn neighborhood of Pawtucket.
The meeting will be held on Tuesday, December 3, at 6:00 PM at Nathanael Greene Elementary School.
“We are committed to revitalizing this important community asset,” said Mayor Donald Grebien. “This meeting is an opportunity for residents to have their voices heard and to help us create a space that truly serves the Fairlawn neighborhood and beyond.”
This exciting project aims to enhance the pool’s functionality and accessibility for community members. Residents can view three proposed renderings of the pool improvements, created by the architectural firm Kuth-Ranieri, which has been selected to lead the design.
The improvements to the Veterans Memorial Pool are made possible through a combination of funding, including $2.3 million in congressional-directed spending and an additional $500,000 FROM A recreation bond.
The City encourages community members to attend and provide valuable feedback. Public input will play a key role in shaping the final design to best meet the needs of Pawtucket residents.
For those unable to attend in person, the meeting will also be available via Zoom, with a link that will be shared on the City of Pawtucket’s website.
