HAVERHILL-
Mayor James J. Fiorentini and Haverhill Public Schools
Superintendent Raleigh Buchanan welcomed swimmers,
including members of the Haverhill High Boys Swim Team,
back to the renovated and improved Charles C. White
Memorial Swimming Pool and Haverhill High School today.
The Pool has seen several improvements as part of the $27
million upgrade to the Haverhill High School facilities,
designed to eliminate any possible accreditation issues.
Improvements include better lighting, electrical and fire
safety upgrades, increased handicapped accessibility and
heating, cooling and plumbing improvements. The pool
received a 60-day temporary occupancy permit while other
building issues are completed. A high school swim meet
regularly scheduled for today was held.
“I’m thrilled that the pool is open for
swimmers, including our Haverhill High swim teams and the
private clubs that pay to rent the pool from the City,”
exclaimed Mayor Fiorentini. “Many unforeseen
construction problems and delays affected the pool
building, but I’m glad the City staff, including the
Fire Chief and his Inspectional Team, our new Permitting
Ombudsman and Building Inspectors worked together to get
the facility open as soon as possible,” added the
Mayor.
“The White Pool is another signature milestone in
our ongoing High School Renovation project,”
announced Superintendent Buchanan. “I’m looking
forward to the Hillies’ Swim Team regaining a ‘home
pool advantage’ for the rest of the season in an
improved facility.”
The opening of the pool eliminates the need to bus
swimmers to other practice facilities, and allows the
City to receive rental payments from outside swim
leagues. The overall high school renovation is expected
to be on time and on budget.
