Officials and administrators for Phase I of the Stivers Aquatic and Wellness Center will welcome the public to the facility on Monday, Dec. 19 at 2:00 p.m.
The center is named for Kentucky Sen. Robert Stivers, who was instrumental in securing funding for the first phase of the center. Sen. Stivers is scheduled to speak at the grand opening, as well as U.S. Rep. Hal Rogers and Gov. Steve Beshear.
Phase I of the Stivers Center is approximately 39,000 square feet and houses a 50-meter competition/recreational pool, a large warm water therapy pool, exercise room, two party/meeting rooms, locker rooms and office space. The second phase will house a multipurpose gymnasium with an elevated walking track.
The Stivers Center is the product of a 12-year effort, begun when a group of civic minded individuals came together to form Knox Partners, a consortium consisting of Union College, KCEOC Community Action Partnership, the City of Barbourville and Knox County Fiscal Court.
