MONTROSE – The former Montrose VA indoor pool, which has been closed for years, is going to be upgraded at a cost of $5.5 million. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Monday for the indoor facility.
Congresswoman Nita Lowey, who secured the funding for the work, said when opened, the pool will be used for veteran therapy.
“We will never be able to fully repay veterans who risk their lives defending the American way of life, but we can and must help them recover from injuries sustained from their service,” Lowey said. The therapeutic pool will help vets “heal the wounds of war.”
The project should be completed by summer of 2017.
