The Issue

We are requesting full transparency regarding the Romney Pool Project and the approximately $794,000 raised by community members and local businesses. These funds were donated in good faith with the understanding that they would be used to repair and reopen the existing pool for the benefit of our community.

The pool has been a cornerstone of our local community, providing a necessary recreational space for families, children, and individuals. It was more than just a pool; it was a gathering place, fostering community spirit and healthy living. When we saw the need for repairs, our generous community stepped up, contributing significantly to ensure the pool's legacy continued. However, recent developments have shattered this trust.

Without notice, the original pool property has been quietly sold, with plans to relocate the project. This decision was made without consulting or informing those who generously donated, working under the belief that their money would directly benefit the original site. This has led to numerous unanswered questions and growing suspicions.

We need answers. Where exactly have these funds been allocated? What is the timeline for the completion of the new project? Why was there a sudden change in plans and lack of transparency in the communication to stakeholders? It is imperative that those responsible for the management of these funds be held accountable to the community that entrusted them.

The community is owed a detailed account of the expenditure thus far, including any contracts, agreements, or plans that explain the decision to sell and relocate. Ensuring transparency is not just about financial accountability; it is about maintaining the trust and goodwill of the very people who believed in this initiative.

Join us in urging the responsible parties to provide a comprehensive report and open communication going forward. We must ensure that every dollar donated is used as promised, and placed into the reopening and revitalization efforts of a pool that will serve to benefit everyone in our community. Please sign this petition to hold those accountable and demand the transparency we deserve.
