Community Pool in Mill Hall in Danger of Closing - FOREVER

Interesting article in today's Lock Haven Express on the future of the Mill Hall Community Pool. The article proceeds to say that "Borough Council gave the Friends two weeks to turn in a written financial plan showing where the money will come from to pay contractors, interest on loans (if any) and anything unexpected that may arise during the project." The Friends are a volunteer group at Mill Hall that run the 39-year-old facility and have been raising money towards a new pool.

So apparently, Mill Hall Borough Council has drawn a line in the sand. So it could be that the nearby population of over 25,000 people might be out of luck(this figure is obtained by adding the populations of Lock Haven, the boroughs of Mill Hall, Flemington, and Beech Creek, the townships of Castanea, Bald Eagle, Beech Creek, Porter, Lamar, Allison, Woodward, Colebrook,and the unincorporated areas of Castenea and Dunnstown).

So if a family has the financial ability to buy and maintain their own swimming pool, no big deal. The rest of you? Go find a stream or river to cool off in! Maybe the poolless could join the residents of Montoursville (view the following blog postings 1, 2, and 3).
