EAST PALESTINE The village is hoping to have the public pool open this summer, but other options are being considered.
Village Manager Mark McTrustry said that ideally the village will be able to have a “full reopen” of the pool this year, but that plan B would be to open the pool to local residents only.
“I don’t want a repeat of last year, but that is our worst case scenario,” he said, referring to the pool not being open at all as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the park’s yearly report for 2020, the park generated a mere $14,170 in revenue a stark contrast to prior years when the pool was open.
