What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Coralville requested a long-term lease from the Iowa City school district for a competition swimming pool intended for Coralville’s new recreation center. The Iowa City district is unable to provide its promised $14 million contribution for the center due to years of overspending and inaccurate revenue projections. Coralville City Administrator Kelly Hayworth stated that the city would be unable to build the competition pool without this financial commitment in the form of a lease.
