‼️Gilliland Park Pool Update‼️
We understand there have been questions about the Gilliland Park Pool reconstruction. This project is funded through FEMA and involves a complex, multi-agency process that requires careful planning, approvals, and strict safety and compliance standards. Our daily work includes coordinating with FEMA, engineers, Region One representatives, and other stakeholders to ensure design accuracy, proper permits, and reliable outcomes for the pool, the pump house relocation, the baby pool drainage, and the surrounding water and sewer infrastructure. While progress may not always be visible every day, teams are actively planning, testing, and moving the project forward to meet current standards and deliver a safe, high-quality facility for the community.
We appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate these requirements. When new information is available, we will provide clear, official communications. If you have urgent safety or operational concerns, contact me Jennifer Walker-Cook instead of blasting it on Facebook or talking negatively about me because if anyone in this community wants a nice safe pool it’s me I’ve been working very hard for it and I will respond promptly with any of your questions or concerns.
Thank you,
Jennifer Walker-Cook
