An ambitious plan to build a community center with a covered pool received a boost from Payson Mayor Tom Morrissey when he asked an audience of 91 at the April 6 Tea Party meeting to give the project a chance.
âThe main thing is to keep everything we can on the table as far as possibilities, not close our minds or doors based on subjects that are not realistic,â said Morrissey.
Morrisseyâs remarks represented a major change of heart with a proposal from the MHA Foundation to build a community center and year-round swimming complex and then turn it over to the town to operate.
