Bill and Martha Paine, long-time residents and business owners announced in October 2007 that they planned to donate money to build a community swimming pool for Manistee, Michigan. The pool is expected to be open to the public in fall 2009.
The City of Manistee has now agreed to pay $40,000 a year to help with the maintenance and operations of the pool. This would cover ten years of operation. City Manager Mitch Deisch commented that the pool is a gift to the whole county.
The facility will be built on the east side of Manistee High School, attached to the gymnasium. City residents would receive a benefit as as a result of the city's contribution and will pay only half of the regular user fee once that is established.
