“If good things come to those who
wait…The Brentwood Pool Renovations
are going to be AMAZING!!”
If you have been in Brentwood Park
recently you have noticed a few changes
or should I say, missing items, from the
pool area. Phase I of the Brentwood
Pool Renovation Project has been
underway since early June with the
demolition of the old bathhouse and
the Civic Center Deck. The final result
is going to be a nice scenic view of the
Brentwood’s Herb Troy Field as well as
additional green space/layout area for
the pool.
Phase II of this long-anticipated
project is scheduled to begin in
September 2019. The primary
renovation Contract is scheduled to be
awarded by Brentwood Borough Council
during their August 19, 2019 Council
meeting after they accept the Grant
Agreement from the Federal Land and
42
BRENTWOOD-BALDWIN-WHITEHALL
Water Conservation Fund in the amount
of $797,600 . Brentwood Officials had
anticipated this “paper work” to have
been completed earlier in the year but
for reasons outside of the Borough’s
control they had to wait until this grant
was processed. If you are familiar with
Federal Grants, the Borough could not
award any contracts related to the grant
funding prior to first accepting the Grant
Award and Grant Agreement. This is a
large amount of money and it is safe to
say that without this funding, as well as
the funding provided by the Allegheny
County Community Infrastructure
and Tourism Fund (CITF) two grants
totaling $275,000, these much needed
renovations, estimated at nearly $3
million, would not have been able to
occur.
We refer to this as a “renovation
project” but as you can see from the
rendering, this is more like a new
construction project consisting of a new
state of the art changing rooms with
restrooms and showers, a new large
super slide, and zero depth entry to
name a few.
Borough Officials are hoping for a
mild winter and dry spring to provide
good conditions for the contractors to
complete this project in time for at least
part of the 2020 Pool Season. I am sure
we are all hoping for the same.
