The Panther Valley Recreation Center Commission was told yesterday the initial move in construction of a new swimming pool would necessitate the support of the borough councils of Lansford, Coaldale and Summit Hill. The last mentioned borough was at one time a member of the commission but severed connections in 1968.

The PVRC commissioners were informed the cost of replacing the pool will be approximately $250,000. State funds are available on a formula basis, providing the communities that operate and maintain it would provide matching funds.

The matter was discussed at a meeting arranged by state Rep. Thomas McCall of Summit Hill.
