Giving the YMCA a fresh look is the focus of some upcoming projects at the Clinton facility.

Executive Director Rennie Cluver says for a while, he and the Y-Board have been discussing ways to freshen things up and they are starting with replacing outdated workout equipment in their wellness center.

Cluver says they will also be taking on a remodel project to their front entryway. They want to create a more inviting space for people to come and hang out.

According to Cluver, they want to give those people that workout at home a reason to come in and be a part of their Y-community.

The Y targeted the equipment upgrades to be around $50,000 and Cluver says they are going to come in way below that. Additionally, they are also coming in below their projected $100,000 cost for the remodel. 

The new workout equipment will likely be in by the end of the month. The remodel project will start just on the other side of the new year.
