Progress continues on Luverne’s $5 million pool and fitness center improvement project.
Footings are poured on the northeast side of the building, and the former cardio equipment room has been removed and demolished.
Meanwhile, a temporary fitness center has been set up in the city’s trailhead building on Main Street and Blue Mound Avenue (formerly Casey’s).
Improvements to the facility included in the construction plans are:
•an outdoor splash pad on the south side of the pool.
•new locker rooms.
•four family changing rooms.
•flat space rooms for group aerobic exercise.
•new office space and staff area.
•larger rooms for both 24-hour weightlifting and aerobic exercise machines.
•new mechanical and heat, ventilation and air-conditioning for the facility.
Hoogendorn Construction from Canton, South Dakota, is the general contractor for the work.
According to the proposed project timeline, work will be completed by May of 2022.
