Pittsburgh, Pa. −June 4, 2026 − Senator Lindsey M. Williams (D-Allegheny) joined Rep. Arvind Venkat (D-30) and members of the community for opening day at the Ingomar North Recreation & Swim Club (INRSC) pool on May 24th. The pool will be making renovations partially funded by a $100,000 Allegheny County Gaming Economic Development Tourism Fund (GEDTF) grant that Senator Williams helped secure.
“I’ve heard incredible stories about the pool being the heart of this community,” said Senator Williams. “It isn’t just where kids learn to swim—it’s where people develop lifelong friendships and build community with one another. At a time when it’s easier than ever to feel isolated, shared spaces that make a neighborhood your home and turn your neighbors into family are more important than ever. That’s why I’m so happy to support investments that extend this sense of belonging into the next generation of families.”
Renovations will include replacement of the pool liner and the purchase of a new pool vacuum, which will increase the lifespan of the liner. INRSC also plans to purchase a new winter pool cover that will better protect the pool and improve public safety during the off season.
“INRSC has been bringing families and friends together since 1961,” said Ron Brown, INRSC Board President. “But with 60 years of memories comes needed maintenance and upgrades to keep the pool running for the next generation. The entire INRSC family is grateful to Senator Williams for her support in making it possible to continue this great tradition of community.”
Senator Williams is committed to working alongside the people and organizations of Senate District 38 to build community through increasing state investment, demonstrating that government can and should work for people and improve their quality of life.
