Delano-Hitch Aquatic center opening in 2025: Season passes, hours, key details
Summer season 2025 passes are now available at the new Delano-Hitch Aquatic Center. City of Newburgh residents can purchase season passes until June 23, when passes open to the general public.
With a price tag of $15 million, the newly built aquatic center is part of the 27-acre Delano-Hitch Recreation Park in Newburgh, located at 401 Washington St.
Matthew Nordt, director at the City of Newburgh Recreation Department, said the project was funded by the American Rescue Plan Act and New York Statewide Investment in More Swimming (NY SWIMS) grants. The city office wrote that the taxpayers did not incur any cost for the facility.
Plans for the project took shape in 2022, followed by one year of construction to erect a new structure. The previous pool on the property had not been in use since 2019 and was completely demolished, Nordt said.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for May 23 at 2 p.m. The anticipated open period is May 24 through Labor Day. The center will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday.

Remodel or replace? Johnstown considers 'way overdue' options for nearly century-old Public Safety Building
JOHNSTOWN, Pa. – As the Johnstown Public Safety Building closes in on the centennial anniversary of its dedication, the structure appears headed toward one of two fates over the coming years. City officials expect to either rehabilitate the facility to make it a clean, modern and structurally sound home for the police and fire departments. Or the structure could be rejected, razed and replaced with a brand-new building somewhere else in the city. Johnstown City Council's ultimate decision about what to do will, in large part, come down to money. A rehab is estimated to cost $10 million or more. Constructing a new building would likely top $20 million. Right now, Johnstown has $5 million for the project – $2.5 million apiece in federal American Rescue Plan Act for COVID-19 pandemic relief money and in state Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grant funding. 'One of the drawbacks we have there is the funding stack,' Johnstown City Manager Art Martynuska said. 'We have a little, but not enough to do even a remodel.' Public Safety Building | Downtown Johnstown Public Safety Building on Washington Street in downtown Johnstown on Thursday, June 12, 2025. The building, 401 Washington St., was constructed and equipped at an approximate cost of $500,000, according to a Johnstown Tribune article from 1926. Work was done throughout 1925 – the year carved in stone on the front of the building – and 1926. It was formally dedicated Dec. 16, 1926. Sine then, the building has served as home to the fire and police departments that have protected city and regional residents in day-to-day times of need and during major events such as the 1936 and 1977 floods. But the building is now in disrepair. In recent years, the city has done mold remediation, water-proofing of the basement with new drains and sump pumps, and HVAC improvements to make it 'a little bit of a safer facility,' as Martynuska said. 'That's what we've been doing – patching it,' Johnstown City Councilman Ricky Britt said. 'Patches here, patches there. After a while, you don't have anywhere to put a patch. You can only patch it so many times.' Britt said 'the old building has served its use' and 'that the project there is way overdue.' 'We've definitely got our usage out of it,' Britt said. 'Hopefully we find the proper location and come up with the right amount of funds to build a new building.' Britt is among a group of city officials who support a new structure. That would involve finding a site, possibly dealing with floodplain issues in the downtown, and likely needing to knock down the current building so it does not become yet another vacant property in the municipality. Others, including City Councilwoman Laura Huchel, favor upgrading and modernizing the existing structure. 'I feel and think, based on some contributions from the planning commission, that the Public Safety Building can be rehabbed and retrofitted to be exactly what Johnstown needs out of a public safety building,' Huchel said. 'It's a very large building. It's more than we need for our current staff, so there are some rental opportunities there if we make it a welcoming space. 'The expense of doing that, while significant, does not even approach the expense of creating a brand-new building and then being faced with needing to demolish the old one.'

Public pool reopened after closing last summer
SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU)— After a public pool in Lackawanna County was closed last summer, it's back open this year with some renovations. The ribbon cutting was held at Connell Park pool in Scranton. The pool has been in the area since the 1970s and became dilapidated. The city allocated 1.1 million for the repairs, money that came out of the American Rescue Plan Act. 'In these past five years, we've been able to invest over $26 million in recreational facilities throughout the whole city. All of our neighborhoods from Connell pool here in southside to a cricket pitch in center city, all sorts of dog parks that are new, the pool facilities, the splash pads. There's something for everyone here in Scranton and we're excited to keep building on the amenities,' expressed mayor Paige Cognetti. Connell Park is one of three outdoor pools open this summer in the Electric City. The pool will officially open Saturday morning and will be open daily from noon to 6 p.m. through labor day.

'It's a lifeline': Milwaukee County unveils new $32M Marcia P. Coggs Health & Human Services Center
Milwaukee County unveiled its new $32 million Marcia P. Coggs Health & Human Services Center in the near north side's King Park neighborhood June 13, creating a hub for essential services and upgrading access for residents across the county. Hundreds of members of Milwaukee's political elite, family members of the building's namesake and residents gathered to visit the new site at 1230 W. Cherry St. The center is now home to the Department of Health and Human Services and provides behavioral health programming; housing and energy assistance resources; child, family and veteran services; an on-site food pantry; and wraparound services for youth with complex needs. The center is already open for walk-ins, referrals, and scheduled appointments. 'It's more than a building. It's a lifeline,' Shakita LaGrant-McClain, the county's health and human services executive director, told the crowd. The 60,000-square-foot building, which is the first new county construction in or near Milwaukee's downtown since the Criminal Justice Facility in 1992, is a stone's throw from the county's Mental Health Emergency Center. It figures as another step toward the county's overarching commitment to ensure a "No Wrong Door" policy when it comes to residents accessing behavioral health services, regardless of age, gender, race or socioeconomic status. After receiving county approval in 2022, the project was funded by $32 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds. "This building represents the upstream investment in race and health equity for our entire community," Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley said. "We will become the healthiest county in Wisconsin." The building is named after Marcia P. Coggs, a trailblazing advocate for human needs who was the first African American woman elected to the Wisconsin state Assembly and the first Black person to sit on the state Legislature's Joint Finance Committee. "(The center) embodies her belief that public service is not paperwork, it's personal, and because of her vision, every child with an empty stomach, every parent in crisis and every senior in need will be filled with compassion and resources that they deserve right here' said Milwaukee County Supervisor Priscilla Coggs-Jones, the granddaughter of Marcia P. Coggs. In late 2022, the sudden closure of the original Coggs location at 6055 N. 64th St. by Karen Timberlake, then the secretary-designee of the state Department of Health Services, followed a monthslong tussle at the county to demolish and rebuild the center or relocate out of concerns for accessibility as well as lead and asbestos issues. The former building was known to many as the place to access services related to FoodShare, Medicaid and GoPass. The original building, which was a former department store built in the 1920s, was later tapped to be developed into 65 affordable apartments.
