Letter: Support pool, fields in Camas

By Doug Speas, Camas
Published: September 24, 2019, 6:00am

I am writing in support of Proposition 2 for the Camas Community Aquatics Center and Sports Fields Upgrades. The Aquatics Center will deliver the specific features and programs that have been requested by Camas residents for nearly two decades. The center will include a competitive and recreational pool, multi-use gymnasium, indoor track, workout facilities, community rooms and a child-watch area. This site will offer something for everyone.

The field upgrades will allow year-round, all-weather use and lead to increased participation in outdoor sports and activities. The lack of gymnasium and field availability has long been a challenge for our community. By approving this bond, we will be providing our children and the community as a whole increased opportunities to be more active and social. This is something to build our future around. This is an opportunity to invest in our children, invest in our community and invest in our future. These are the reasons why I am voting yes on Proposition 2.
