Commissioner’s Message

From the Desk of Commissioner

Heather Moraitis

Fort Lauderdale Aquatic Center Renovation
am excited to announce that on July 10th, after fourteen years of negotiations, we
voted to renovate the existing Aquatic Center facility and provide pools that meet
I international competition standards, provide adequate spectator seating for
competition events, and increase programming opportunities for the facility. We will
also improve the parking lot drainage and landscaping, exterior of the facility, and the
entryway to the facility. The Aquatic Center Renovations will be designed and
constructed for up to $27,000,000. In addition to these renovations, we recently
renewed our partnership with the International Swimming Hall of Fame and they will
continue to call Fort Lauderdale their home!

contractor for the project is All County Paving, a company that has extensive
experience with resurfacing projects throughout the City.
