Tenino Finalizes Agreement with County for Quarry Pool Renovation Grant

Posted

 

The city of Tenino recently finalized an agreement with Thurston County for up to $215,707 in grant money toward the Tenino Quarry Pool renovation project, which could now potentially be completed by June 2019.

The funds are part of a federally-funded Community Development Block Grant administered by the Thurston County Department of Public Health and Social Services through its Housing and Community Renewal Program. Tenino is slated to put $81,793 toward the project for a total cost of $297,500, according to the contract between the two parties.

Pumps and mechanical filters in the deep end of the pool will be replaced. Safety features will be added as well as mechanisms to make the pool more environmentally friendly. A sun deck and a true kiddie pool are also expected to be part of the renovation.



Finalizing the agreement between the county and the city will allow the latter to start soliciting construction bids with an eye toward moving dirt in September. The pool is currently open from noon until 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday until Sept. 2.
