Palatine Park District OKs Indoor Pool Project With Harper College

Palatine, IL—They might have to wait until 2018, but Palatine Park District residents eventually will be able to enjoy the indoor pool at Harper College.

The district approved Tuesday to fund $9 million of the school's $38 million renovation plan for its on-campus Recreation and Wellness Center, the Daily Herald reports. That funding will allow district residents to use the center's indoor pool.

The plan was approved by a 3-1 vote, and supporters of the project said the district would have had to spend $15 million to build its own indoor pool.

Along with the indoor pool, the nearly 500,000 eligible residents also would be able to use other parts of the facility.
