The City of Grant City will have a Grand Reopening with free food and kids activities for the Grant City Pool, which is sporting a new bathhouse along with the new pool. The pool reopened Memorial Day Weekend; however, a special ceremony is being planned to mark the reopening of the pool.
Craig and Gina McNeese will once again manage the pool this year. The pool restoration project was made possible by numerous private donations and volunteers spending countless hours in order to restore the pool. At one point, the city had decided to close the pool for good and dig up the facility before learning that costs to restore the pool would not be nearly as much as expected.
Economic Developer Tammy Ueligger reported that there were 11 vendors and 75-100 customers at the initial County Market Days held May 19th at the school. The next one will be held June 2nd and there will be one held every first, third, and fifth Sunday of the month.
Ueligger reported that she plans to have two work-study students, one for the Economic Development office and one for Missouri Steel & Hose. The term will last for eight weeks and the goal is to give job experience and a sense of ownership of the community to local students.
Ueligger reported that there was a bunch of farmers markets applying for funding and that the state would allow her to resubmit the grant application on July 1st.
The council voted to have the water tower inspected to see if it needs cleaning.
Council members spent much of the meeting working out details for the Grand Reopening for the pool as well as last-minute needs for the facility as well as the Pool Park.
The next meeting will be held on June 20th at 7:00 p.m., back at its regularly scheduled time.
