Tennessee Governor Bill Lee and the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation announced that $365,000 has been awarded to the City of Rockwood for improvements at the Rockwood Community Center. The project includes repairs to the swimming pool and miscellaneous building improvements. It also includes ADA improvements to parking, pathways, restrooms, water fountains, counters, and relevant signage.

“I congratulate our local leaders and thank them for their partnership in pursuing this very worthy investment,” said State Representative Monty Fritts, R-Kingston. “I grew up in Rockwood. I know how much our residents value our community center. These funds will enable needed repairs to be made to the swimming pool and the building. In addition, ADA modifications to the restrooms, parking, access paths, signage, water fountains, and counters will enable greater access for everyone to enjoy these recreational facilities.”

“The Rockwood Community Center plays an important role in bringing citizens and children together to engage in recreational sports and physical activity,” said State Senator Ken Yager, R-Kingston. “These funds will go a long way towards big improvements for the community center. I congratulate our local officials who were instrumental in helping secure these funds.”
