Pool progressing

The site of the new Gilmer County Swimming Pool looks more like a dry swimming hole as construction ramps up in back of the Civic Center. Physical work on the new pool began about three weeks ago. Right now, dirt is being leveled and the shape of the pool area is being formed. Pouring of concrete and pipe installation will follow. The anticipated completion date for the pool construction is the end of May, but it could take longer due to weather and other factors.
