The $1 annual lease allows the town to continue to operate the pool on the 42-acre property until 2038.
The lease agreement has been in place since 1984.
Under the terms of the new agreement, the town is responsible for all activities related to the maintenance of the property and facilities.
Stony Point Supervisor Jim Monaghan said the new lease agreement allows the town to invest $100,000 to upgrade the facility. The town also uses the pool to host a youth summer camp for 400 residents.
“We are very appreciative for SUEZ’ continued support and generosity,” Monaghan said. “With the security of a new lease, we plan to invest in the pool to modernize and enhance it.”
“We’re delighted to continue to make this property available to the residents of Stony Point,” said Chris Graziano, vice president and general manager of SUEZ operations in New York. “We recognize the importance of the pool and applaud the town for its plans to invest in several improvements.”
