Ground breaking is expected in the spring of 2014 with opening a year later in the spring of 2015.
The Sumner Design Commission reviewed the first set of renderings for the Sumner YMCA at Sumner City Hall last Wednesday night. This is the next phase towards breaking ground spring of 2014 and opening spring of 2015.
The community has donated $7.75 million toward the YMCA in Sumner, with a total project need of more than $30 million. The community center style facility is expected to be more than 100,000 square feet and serve at least 22,000 East Pierce County residents.
The Y is expected to include: recreational and warm water therapy pools, a teen center, an arts center, a community room, an internet cafΓ©, member lounges, and more.
