Winamac Town Council behind community pool

Winamac Town Council members are showing their support of the community pool project as they agreed to commit funding to the project. 
During a regular meeting on March 14, councilwoman Judy Heater, who is also the chairwoman of the Winamac Community Pool Committee, gave an update to the council. 
She said the organization has held their first fundraiser that went well. With several donations, the fundraiser and a community foundation match, the organization has collected about $115,000. 
Heater said when she proposed the idea of a community pool, the council told her to see what she could accomplish and come back to them. She said she is now approaching the council. 
The council approved to allocate $150,000 for the project with opposition from councilman Tom Murray. 
The cost of the pool is about $640,000. Heater said she hopes construction of the pool can be done in 2017. There are two more fundraisers currently scheduled. Heater said she is hoping for another dollar match opportunity.
