The much-anticipated renovation of the front entryway at the Clinton YMCA is underway.

The project began in early January and Executive Director of the Y, Rennie Cluver told Regional Radio on the WHOW Morning Show Monday morning, they had to get some infrastructure things situated before they started moving material and now things are starting to take shape.

According to Cluver, there are four main walls that will be coming down. As those come down, he anticipates things moving along in a timely manner.

Bringing in local contractors was a point of emphasis for the Y Board during this planning process. Cluver says it is great to have talented local business owners to be able to make this project happen.

For members coming in for programs or using the facility independently, Cluver says it is putting them out a bit but is thankful they all are understanding of the things happening and are willing to work with the Y to allow this project to plug along.

The main entryway remodel comes on the heels of the wellness center upgrading and updating its equipment from last fall.

Cluver hopes to show off all the changes with an open house in the spring when everything is finished.
