Cincinnati City Council has voted unanimously to accept $2.2 million in trust funds to build a new aquatics center in Avondale.
The Otto Armleder Memorial Family Aquatics Center will be built next to the Hirsch Recreation Center at 3630 Reading Road (BIRD'S EYE).
The Council vote amends a September agreement in which the City entered into a restrictive covenant with the Otto Armleder Memorial Trust and accepted $1.9 million in funds.
Due to an increase in expected construction costs, the Cincinnati Recreation Commission (CRC) requested an extra $300,000 for the project.
The project has not been put out to bid.
The CRC currently operates one Otto Armleder Aquatics Center at 226 Stark Street in Over-the-Rhine. A second will open in 2008 at the Dunham Recreation Center in Price Hill.
