The Town of Hoosick swimming pool will close for the season on Friday, August 16. The early closing is so the pool can be drained and GPR Systems can begin scanning around it. The scanning will determine the strength and weaknesses of the underground area surrounding the pool. Those results will help define what type of repairs will be needed to preserve the pool for years to come. That step will be followed by cost estimates and a strategy to fund the repairs.
