GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – There are some new options for Green Bay’s Colburn Pool. Engineers presented four plans during a meeting a Franklin Middle School Thursday night.
Option one is a four-lane, 50 meter pool. Option two incorporates a children’s play area.
A third option removes the pool all together, and replaces it with a community center.
At the meeting, engineers say those plans would stay within a $4 million price-tag.
Finally, a 4th option would be to repair the existing pool. But that plan has a much higher price tage. Somewhere in the neighborhood of $5.5 million.
The city council approved a plan last year to replace Colburn Pool.
However, Mayor Jim Schmitt vetoed it, saying it would be too expensive.
