The former American Uniform Co. building on Parker Street, vacant for several years, now is being considered as a potential Cleveland, Tenn., competition swimming site.CLEVELAND, Tenn. — Two downtown locations are under consideration as sites for a potential competitive swim center.
One is the vacant American Uniform Co. building on Parker Street. The other is the Cleveland school system’s Teen Learning Center, which is the former National Guard Armory building.
Cleveland High School volunteer swim coach Tim Davis outlined how he said a partnership involving the city school system, Lee University, a physical therapy company, grants, private donations and public programs could fund the project and provide a payback.
Davis spoke to the city school board’s Site Committee on Wednesday.
“I’ve spent the last year working on sites and numbers to get us at a point where we can pay for it; basically we can own it and have somebody else pay for it,” Davis said.
