CAÑON CITY, Colo. (KOAA) — The future of a pool in Cañon City will be left up to the voters. Cañon City City Council, along with the Parks and Recreation District, agreed on the ballot language that people will vote on in November.
If it passes, the 0.3% sales tax, which passed in 2024, will go toward building and maintaining an outdoor seasonal pool.
The tax is expected to make $2 million by the end of the year.
The original pool in Cañon City closed in 2023 because of mechanical issues.
