The Mt. Pleasant Aquatic Center is opening its doors to the public. After raising nearly $5 million from more than two decades of community fundraising, grants, loans and the passing of a voter-supported tax, the Mt. Pleasant Aquatic Center is opening its doors to the public soon and has already held one local swim meet.
The aquatic center has been in the works for a long time. More than 20 years of community fundraising efforts brought $2.5 million to the table. Utah’s Permanent Community Impact Fund Board contributed $2 million in funding in the form of a grant and low-interest loan. The North Sanpete School District donated the land for the aquatic center, which is located at 44 S. 100 East, on the old Mt. Pleasant Elementary School grounds. The owner of MKJ Construction of Fairview, agreed to donate roughly $300,000 worth of excavation and site work. A significant amount of additional money has been raised from private donations.
