Community Pool Project For generations, the Cornwall community pool has been an important part of summer in our community. Our existing pool and supporting infrastructure are aging, and the Town now has a significant opportunity to replace them with a new, modern community pool complex. The Town of Cornwall has been awarded a $5.587 million NY SWIMS grant from New York State, covering approximately 80% of the eligible project cost. The proposed project would replace the existing pool and create a larger, modern and more accessible community pool complex designed to serve Cornwall families for decades. Preliminary plans include: -A new, larger community pool -A zero-entry/beach-entry area designed for young children and families -Mushroom-style water fountains and splash features for younger swimmers -New piping, filtration and electrical systems -Upgraded pool decking and fencing -A new bathhouse with restrooms, showers, changing areas and family changing rooms -Four-season public bathrooms accessible from outside the pool area, providing year-round restroom facilities for park users -Outdoor showers -Improved parking and drop-off areas -Updated site infrastructure and accessibility improvements The total estimated project cost, including appropriate contingencies, is approximately $7.5 million. With nearly $5.6 million in State funding, the Town’s anticipated local share is estimated at approximately $2.5 million, which would be financed over approximately 20 years. Based on current assessed values and tax rates, the estimated annual property-tax impact of financing the project would be approximately: $31.98 per year for a home assessed at $300,000 — about $2.67 per month $42.64 per year for a home assessed at $400,000 — about $3.55 per month Potential Project Timeline If the Town moves forward with final design and the competitive bidding process in late 2026 and early 2027, construction could potentially begin in late summer or early fall 2027, with the goal of completing the new facility in time for the 2028 swimming season. This schedule is preliminary and would depend on final design, regulatory approvals, bidding, contractor availability and construction conditions. This represents an opportunity to leverage nearly $5.6 million in State funding toward a roughly $7.5 million investment that would replace an aging community asset while creating a more accessible, family-friendly and modern recreational facility for Cornwall. Before moving into final design and construction, we want to hear from you. With approximately 80% of the eligible project cost supported by State funding, are you ready to make this investment and move forward with building a new Cornwall community pool?
