PUEBLO — The city is moving forward with its plan to tear down the historic building and build a new tennis facility.
This comes after the Pueblo City Council originally voted to make the building a historic landmark and preserve it, but Pueblo Mayor Heather Graham vetoed it.
Pueblo's Mayor vetoes a local historic landmark but others fight to save it
It would have taken a five to two vote at city council in order to overturn the mayor's veto, but the veto upheld.
Mayor Graham says it's cheaper to tear down the existing bath house and build a new one.
The new building would have upgraded facilities, including the following:
- a pro shop
- concessions
- a conference room
