Maize tables proposal for aquatic center

Screen Shot 2014-05-01 at 5.56.48 AMMAIZE, Kan. (AP) — The Maize school district has tabled a proposal for a $10 million aquatic center.

The decision comes in part because nearby Goddard voted last week to approve the first phase of a $130 million swimming complex/retail project.

The Wichita Eagle reports that earlier this year, a group of advisers named an aquatic center as a top athletic priority for the Maize district.

Maize superintendent Doug Powers says shrinking budgets, combined with the Goddard project, prompted the Maize board to put the proposed pool complex on hold. He says Maize could perhaps eventually use the Goddard complex.
