Projected Subsidies Needed for Aquatics Center

Arlington County
“Arlington taxpayers could be on the hook for significantly higher annual subsidies for the planned Long Bridge Park aquatics center and fitness facility, based on new projections from the county government. What had been an expected annual operating deficit of $1 million to $1.3 million has now ballooned to more than $4 million, according to projections included in County Manager Barbara Donnellan’s updated budget forecast. Factoring in the cost of paying off debt to build the facility, taxpayers could be spending upward of $10 million a year over the next decade even if they never set foot in the Crystal City complex.

Critics were quick to pounce on the new figures.”
