Help keep a pool in Grafton, ND.
Vote Yes! on Ordnance 351.
With the compromised equipment room foundation, the leaking underground plumbing, and the thousands of gallons of water lost daily it is only a matter of time that there will no longer be a pool in Grafton, ND unless there is something done about it.
The 0.0025 increase in sales tax will allow for a renovation project to keep a pool in Grafton!

At Grafton Parks and Recreation, our vision is to be the leading provider of outdoor recreational activities and services in the Rendezvous Region. We are well into the planning stages of building a brand new pool in Grafton, ND. Our hope is that the new pool will continue to be the outdoor swimming hub for all surrounding communities, as well as our own! We hope it will bring more travel to Grafton, that baseball and camping families will be excited to come here just so they can use the pool! Think: Zero entry pool with splash park features in about 2 feet of water, basketball hoops, Large slides, diving board, lap pool, lazy river!
Our current outdoor pool is nice. It has been since 1954. But there are many large, structural plumbing problems going on underground, that do not meet the eye. Every summer, we were very lucky to be able to use our pool house: changing rooms, bathrooms, showers. Now, Add that to the problem we have every spring no matter what: The ever sinking maintenance & plumbing room. Every freeze and thaw, that room pulls further and further north while simultaneously sinking. Because of that, We loose thousands of gallons everyday in our pool, through old plumbing cracks and new fissures. It's not economical or ecofriendly, and it's definitely NOT sustainable.
At Grafton Parks and Recreation, we're proud to have a team who can dream realistically. We know fundraising alone isn't going to get us a brand new pool with amenities. We have been saving and planning for the day our 70 y/o pool quits on us. We changed our mindset: This new pool MUST become a reality. How can we get there? Ordnance 351 will add a 0.25% to the city sales tax in Grafton, ND for the sole use to fund a pool project. If the ordnance passes it will give the funding needed to start building a pool project. More funding from grants to tax deductible charitable donations made to the Grafton Parks & Recreation Foundation will make a new pool in Grafton, ND a reality.
Together we can break ground on a modern pool for our children AND our grandchildren to enjoy for 70+ more years! Help us, help them!
