City of Glasgow Receives $324,471 Grant From LWCF For Bathhouse Project

The City of Glasgow is thrilled to announce a significant boost to the Valco Pool Committee’s Project. The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) has awarded $324,471 to the City, propelling the Valco Pool Committee closer to their fundraising goal. This additional grant from the LWCF brings the Pool Committee approximately $220,000 away from having the bathhouse fully funded. Since 2018, the Valco Pool Committee has raised $3,979,665.

With this generous grant, enough has been fundraised to initiate the bidding process. However, to award a bid, the full amount will need to be raised. Mayor Karst has added an agenda item for the City Council meeting on July 15 to vote on starting the bidding process.

“This is a tremendous step forward for our community,” said Valco Pool Committee President Maggan Walstad. “The bathhouse is an essential part of our project, and we are hopeful that this final fundraising push will enable the bathhouse to be ready at the same time the pool, which will be finished May 31, 2025. We encourage everyone who has considered donating to the project to do so now. Every contribution helps us get one step closer to making the bathhouse a reality.”

The Valco Pool Committee has been working tirelessly to bring this project to fruition since 2018, and community support has been vital. Now, more than ever, your donations can make a difference.

If you are interested in donating to help complete the bathhouse, now is the time. Contributions can be made online at valcopool.com, in person at the City Office or by contacting a Valco Pool Committee member.

We are proud to see the hard work and contributions from our community come together to provide a bright future for upcoming generations.
