Ulster County Executive Jen Metzger announced that the County has been awarded a $3.92 million grant through Governor Kathy Hochul’s NY SWIMS initiative to renovate the Ulster County Pool following its closure this summer due to underground piping failures.

The grant will enable the County to fix the piping that was the cause of the closure as well as undertake significant additional improvements to the pool complex. These include replacing the pool deck, installing a new gutter system, and adding zero-depth entry ramps, which will make it safer and easier for children and people of all abilities to enter the pool. The County will also install a modern spray ground for kids of all ages.
