BIG SPRING - Don't get out the swimsuit and sun screen just yet. The Big Spring City Council wants to build a city-wide pool but one local organziation wants to put on the brakes.
City Council members in Big Spring decided it's time to make some changes to the city pool. Here's the issue, the City wants to build a new ADA compliant swimming pool. That cost is estimated at $4.2 million. The pool at Comanche Trail Park is 80 years old and was closed earlier this year. Mayor McEwen tells NewWest 9, the cost to renovate is so high it would be better to just build a new one. But a new organization, Concerned Citizens of Big Spring, say they want the public to be able to vote on the issue.
