The cost of the new Carbondale Aquatic Center, slated to open in April 2026, skyrocketed after it was first proposed in 2019. When the project was initially approved that year, the first municipal pool in Colorado heated with 100% renewable energy had a projected cost of over $7 million. In the following seven years, external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and rising construction costs nearly doubled the price of the state-of-the-art pool.
