Earlier this week at the Hart Media Group, we brought you the Clinton YMCA's proposed new building project at the Safe Passage greenspace just off the downtown Clinton Square.

At the Tuesday night Clinton City Council meeting, Clinton Y Executive Director Rennie Cluver brought the proposed drawings of the new facility to the City Council. The YMCA is experiencing incredible participation in almost all its offerings.

Jonathan Teal, with Donor by Design, the firm working with the YMCA in its massive fundraising effort, has been impressed by the community support for this project, but says, oftentimes, the final leg of fundraising is the most challenging.

For  Cluver, the Warner Foundation has been a huge partner for the Y through providing the greenspace for the proposed location. 

Cluver hopes to put the call out for the rest of the community to support this effort by the fall with the goal of breaking ground in the spring of 2027.
