Recreation complexes reviewed financially By Sarah Elizabeth Morris STAFF WRITER

PLATTSBURGH | The City of Plattsburgh Common Council again discussed the future finances of the Recreation Complexes throughout

the city, all of which are struggling with revenue. The City Beach, Old Base Gym, Crete Civic Memorial Center and the Marina are all public services that are part of the rec complex. About a month ago, there was talk about closing the Old Base Gym. This caused an uproar with some Plattsburgh citizens, who showed up to a city council meeting to voice their opinions on why the gym shouldn’t close and what the city can do to save money.

Marina in trouble: There are four recreation services to the public in Plattsburgh, one being the Marina. The Marina, according to research, tends more to outside tourists than Plattsburgh residents.
