The council approved the pool project for the old school site. We won. Now we wait to see the breaking of ground.

We, the undersigned, urge the Morris City Council to take action now on developing a swimming pool for the people of Morris and beyond. The time is ripe: a swimming pool could be included in the development of the old elementary school property.
Among the powerful reasons for having a swimming pool in Morris:
People and their dollars stay in Morris (rather than traveling to the Benson pool)
A pool is safe and fun recreation for people of all ages
A pool will make Morris an attractive home for new employees, and businesses will more easily find new employees
If the pool is located at the old elementary school property, then a pool will be a public legacy on what was public property
Smart, fun, healthy growth encourages more smart, fun healthy growth!

The momentum for a local pool is undeniable. This community clearly wants a place to swim.

It cost the city too much money having people go elsewhere for summer activities. keep the tax dollars in morris.
finally! a place for the teenagers to go that doesnt involve just hanging out in parking lots. get it done.
YES PLEASE. tired of driving to benson every weekend. morris really needs this.
My kids are so bored every summer. We end up driving so far just to get them in the water. We need something right here in town.
The old school site is just sitting there rotting away. Turn it into a pool already. It would be great for the whole community.
