PRINCETON, WV (LOOTPRESS) – The City of Princeton and the Preservati Family Charitable Trust Foundation have agreed on new public facilities at the Bee Street Complex.
This includes the addition of a community center and outdoor wave pool. The community center will feature three basketball courts, multi-purpose rooms, and a full kitchen. The wave pool will be 8,000 square feet, accompanied by a splash pad and an accessory building with showers, locker rooms, and concessions.
The community center is expected to cost $5,933,630 and is partially funded by a joint congressional appropriation by Senators Manchin and Capito and an allocation by Governor Jim Justice. The expected cost of the wave pool and accessory building is $4,466,751, and it is locally funded by the City of Princeton. Funding packages for both the community center and wave pool are being finalized, with more updates on bidding and construction schedules to follow in the coming months.
This project could not have been realized without the generous land donation of the Preservati Family Charitable Trust Foundation and the grant dollars championed by Senator Manchin, Senator Capito, and Governor Jim Justice.
