It has been a while since I posted on this page, and I am sure people are starting to think of summer swimming. I was hoping to get more information before posting, but I haven't as of yet. Some of you may be aware of a proposed pool at the Somers Pointe Golf (Country) Club. We had heard of it a while ago and could not get any information at the time. In fact, the company has now approached the Planning Board and plans to submit a new application to build a private pool. They previously had approval, so it seems likely that they will get approval again. IMPORTANT: I do not have specific information about the pool, or when it will be built. I know nothing other than they want to build a pool. I do not know specifics of what was said at the Planning Board meeting, and any information I found was from looking at our town website.
Given that there is a history of rejecting a town pool in Somers, our group, and the Town Board members who were assisting us, feel that it is best to table any plans for a community pool, (and survey), in our town. A private pool in our community will at least give people the option of staying in their own community to swim. I put in a call to the number provided for the company listed below but have yet to hear back. I will provide an update, if and when I do. I suggest using the link below if you would like to leave the company feedback on the pool they intend to build. I have heard a rumor that it should be ready for swimming next summer, but I don't have any information to substantiate that.
I am truly sorry if people are disappointed with this news. However, the opening of a private pool in our town would undoubtedly make it even more difficult to proceed with what was already going to be a very difficult task. No one wants to expend time and money on a fruitless effort. We appreciate the support we have received from those of you who wrote emails, talked with friends and neighbors, and attended the Board meeting. Below you will find a link to a contact form for the Somers Pointe Country Club.
