Construction Begins on New Canton Pool

March 8, 2017 – Canton broke ground on its new pool. Tuesday morning, a ceremony was held to commemorate the official beginning of construction.

“The groundbreaking is a bittersweet moment for the community because we’re removing a pool which holds 70 years of memories,” Town Manager Seth Hendler-Voss said prior to the groundbreaking. “But we’re replacing it with a dynamic pool which will make another 70 years of good memories.”

The groundbreaking brought out Canton and Haywood County officials, as well as residents from all around. The ceremony was short and sweet, and as soon as the shovels were thrust into the soil, the track-hoe on the scene began tearing into the old pool’s shell.

“We are continuing our legacy and heritage of … having an aquatic center and pool for our community, and even for Western North Carolina,” Mayor Mike Ray said in an address just prior to the groundbreaking.

Following the groundbreaking, Ray said that he is thrilled to finally have begun the project, which has been years in the making. “It is bittersweet, but it’s getting sweeter as time goes,” he said.

Project Manager Jacob Benson from Brantley Construction, the company which was awarded the contract, said the demolition shouldn’t take more than a week and that the scheduled completion date is Aug. 6. He added that he this is the first pool project the company has undertaken, and said he is happy to a part of it.

“From Brantly Construction’s standpoint, we’re looking forward to being part of the project and helping make this park a reality for the community,” he said.

Hendler-Voss is optimistic that if the weather is mild and there are no other unforeseen circumstances, that the pool could be completed by mid-July, but that they are still shooting for the beginning of August.

Whenever construction is completed, town officials all agree that the pool will — just like its predecessor — be a cornerstone of the community for years to come.

“This pool will allow us to take rec programs to the next level,” Hendler-Voss said. “It’s going to continue to serve in that way into the future.”
