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.

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.

Kentucky first lady helps serve meals to emphasize importance of senior nutrition programs
FRANKFORT, Ky. (FOX 56) — Kentucky first lady Britainy Beshear joined Frankfort police to serve meals to members at the Capital City Activity Center, part of an event called March for Meals. It can be easy to bond over food, and while she has a lot on her plate, first lady Britainy Beshear spent some time serving lunch to these senior citizens. Read more of the latest Kentucky news 'Making sure our seniors have nutritious meals and that they can come to centers if they're able, being around one another and spending time with one another. It's critically important that the funding remains in place so that these programs are sustainable,' Beshear said. The goal is to keep programs like March for Meals and Meals on Wheels going strong. Marchele Jenkins is the executive director of the Capital City Activity Center. 'We're proud to say we don't have a waitlist here. That's not the case throughout the United States, or even in Kentucky. There are many seniors still on a waitlist needing to receive meals. We do this to bring awareness to senior nutrition,' Jenkins said. These meals and this service mean a lot to members like Vaughn Garvin, who would have a hard time otherwise.

Between the first lady and the police helping to serve the meals, everyone says it's crucial to have everyone at the table. Frankfort Police Department Assistant Chief Scott Tracy said he loves serving his community, and this is another way to do that. 'They've given so much already to our community. They've kind of put their time in, and now it's our turn to serve them. It means a lot to us,' Tracy said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
