Floating Public Pool Project in the East River is Greenlit

+ POOL — the amazing floating pool that will filter NYC river water while providing New Yorkers another spot to cool off on a hot summer day — finally has a set location: the East River!

The project has been in the works for years, but this week the creators have finally received an official “confirmation to proceed with due diligence” from the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), they announced on their Instagram page. This is after two years of review with the city organization!
