VICTORY TOWNSHIP – West Shore Community College (WSCC) will host a public forum on Monday, March 17, at 5:30 p.m. or 20 minutes after the conclusion of the regular Board of Trustees meeting if that passes 5:30 p.m. The forum will take place at Center Stage Theater in the Arts and Sciences building on WSCC’s main campus, located at 3000 N. Stiles Rd.
The purpose of the forum is to provide members of the public with an opportunity to voice their opinions on recommendations put forth by WSCC administration following extensive work by the community-based Recreation Task Force. The Task Force, established last year, was tasked with assessing the college’s and the community’s recreational offerings and identified opportunities for enhancement. The task force’s recommendations included:
- Renovate the pool at an estimated cost of $3.5 million. If approved, the project would take approximately one year to complete after construction begins.
- Commit to hiring an aquatics director. This position would not be required until late 2026 to mid-2027, based on pool renovations.
- Explore the construction of an indoor facility with track and turf
The recommendations would be contingent upon the successful renewal of the capital millage.
