Q. Why is a pool not in the plans?
Q. Why is a pool not in the plans?
The cost of adding a pool would increase the overall cost of the facility by hundreds of thousands of dollars. Plus, the cost of maintaining and staffing that pool overtime would increase the monthly sustainment costs by tens of thousands of dollars. While we would love to include a pool in the facility, the costs associated with that outweigh the advantages. We are not just focusing on the build of the facility but also the ability to maintain it for years to come.
