Troy Council Weighs $2.5M Aquatic Park Budget Increase; Planning Commission Takes Up Canal Street Rezoning

Troy City Council is set to consider raising the bidding authorization for the Troy Aquatic Park (TAP) Maintenance Project from $1,700,000 to $2,500,000, the largest dollar item on recent city agendas. The increase follows two bids received May 13, 2026, both coming in at approximately $2.4 million — above the original estimate due to higher costs for joint replacement, electrical work, fencing, and a steel entry canopy.
