The pavilion, widely considered to be the heart of the community, went up in flames in December.

The village is now seeking approval from insurers to tear down what remains of the pavilion’s “super structure”; the floor may still be able to be saved, Zegarelli said.

Meanwhile, the pool has been checked and refilled and the village is hoping to have it opened by Memorial Day weekend, he added.
