Timeout with Tim – It will be strange weekend with football for Monarchs

New designs for a possible expansion of the Plain City Aquatic Center were shown to council last week. The one pictured above was a favorite among residents surveyed during a feasibility study. Visitors will note several changes including an expansion of the existing pool with the addition of a second, stand-alone pool with lap lanes. Two additional areas of parking were also added to the north and west sides of the grounds. (Graphic submitted)
