TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Shawnee County commissioners have approved a plan to name an aquatic center after a Topeka company that’s contributing $1 million to the project.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that the commissioners on Thursday approved a resolution naming the center the Midwest Health Aquatic Center. Midwest Health operates senior living communities, including independent and assisted living and skilled nursing.
The agreement allows the county to remove the “Midwest Health Aquatic Center” name if that company fails to meet payment obligations.
Groundbreaking on the $8 million aquatic center project is scheduled for Monday. Construction is expected to be complete around Memorial Day of next year.
