Plan to build new swimming pool in Cañon City not moving forward

The plan to build a new swimming pool in Cañon City is not proceeding due to insufficient long-term funding for operations. The existing pool has been closed since 2023 due to mechanical issues, and while voters approved a sales tax to fund construction, they rejected a separate tax for operating costs. The city aims to use a ballot measure to determine how to allocate over $2 million collected from the sales tax.
