Building a community pool requires more than constructing a swimming facility. It also means investing in the essential infrastructure that makes the project possible.
This summer, the White Salmon Valley Pool Metropolitan Park District presented a request for approximately $667,000 in infrastructure funding to the Klickitat County Economic Development Authority.
The proposed investment would support critical improvements, including:
Water and sanitary sewer extensions
A sewer lift station and stormwater improvements
Natural gas service
Electrical upgrades, including a new transformer and underground utilities
These improvements represent a long-term investment in public infrastructure.
In particular, planned electrical improvements will benefit existing White Salmon Valley School District facilities and support future campus development.
The value of this investment extends beyond the pool itself. By coordinating infrastructure improvements with the school district and other public partners, the project can deliver benefits that extend well into the future.
We're grateful for the County's consideration and continued collaboration as we work toward construction. We’ll keep everyone posted on the status!
