Someone else mentioned pool (sun) covers. Personally, I think that might accomplish the same thing, if used along with water chillers, and may be less expensive, if used over an existing pool. But, I would imagine the costs would be borne by Villages residents, whereas a new indoor pool could charge membership fees which would not impact the residents.
Before the membership fees, paying for the structure and the land would be necessary. Who would pay for that? If it was a private business why would the CDD be involved? The CDD does not deal in commercial property.
