Due to a delivery delay with the custom made pool heaters, the Arlington Pool will not reopen in time for the holiday weekend.  We're hopeful installations and inspections will be completed within the next couple of weeks and it will reopen around July 20th.

As we approach the holiday weekend, we're taking a respite from the full Weekly Briefs. We'll be back next week!  In the meantime, whether you make it to the fireworks display Friday night or head to the beach this weekend, I hope you enjoy a fun and safe holiday as we celebrate the birth of our nation.

Thanks for reading this week's updates.  If you'd like to receive Weekly Briefs directly to your inbox click 'Join Our Mailing List' below or send us an email at [email protected]
