Macomb Moves Ahead on Pool Project

Macomb, IL – Macomb is about to take the next step in its process of determining whether a new public pool is needed. Aldermen next week will be asked to choose an engineering firm to study the issue. City Administrator Mike Hays believes it should take no more than 60 days for the firm to complete the report. He says the business will be charged with determining whether it's feasible to continue using Glenwood Pool or whether it's time to look at building a new facility. The city council's pool committee asked around five engineering firms to submit qualifications. Three of them did so. Hays estimates the study will cost around $8,000.
