GROTTOES, VA (Rocktown Now) — The Grottoes Town council has raised sufficient funds in order to reopen the Grand Caverns Pool in May.

Town council voted to close and demolish the pool in February of 2023 due to prioritizing the town budget for other infrastructure items and not wanting to continue to invest in the pool. Due to public outcry and people speaking out to council, they voted to rescind the decision to demolish the pool and citizens formed a committee that is now the Grottoes Pool Preservation Foundation.

The Grottoes Pool Preservation Foundation says there is still more money to raise, and more details are to come.
