Jamestown YMCA VP of Operations John Barber presents to Jamestown Local Development Corporation (May 17, 2023)<\/p><\/div>\n

The Jamestown YMCA<\/strong> is requesting $1 million in American Rescue Plan<\/strong> funds to construct a new facility on Harrison Street.<\/p>\n

YMCA Vice President of Operations John Barber<\/strong> and Tom Benson<\/strong> presented to the Jamestown Local Development Corporation<\/strong> on their request of funding from the Non-Profit Business Grant Program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Benson said the total project cost for the nearly 68,000 square foot facility is $30 million. He said there is currently $4 million committed from local foundations, “But we have three or four other sources of funding lined up, but we have to be able to go back to them and say, ‘Now we’ve got the city commitment, not just with a letter but with skin in the game.’ Go back to the state and try to get the state to commit. Then we have New Market Tax Credits, then we have tax rebond reissuance, then we have the (Ralph C.) Wilson Foundation who told us to come back when we had more commitment.”<\/p>\n

Benson said there will come a time when the current East Fourth Street location will not be sustainable.<\/p>\n

The new facility will include a childcare center, two pools, group exercise areas, a track for running and walking; gymnasium, and other exercise areas.<\/p>\n

The Jamestown YWCA<\/strong> also presented a request of $145,714 for a three-year “Young Women Choosing Action” Program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The program was developed by the national YWCA and is an “intersectional, culturally responsive, trauma-informed leadership program designed with the unique challenges and opportunities of low-income young women and young women of color, ages 13 to 19.”<\/p>\n

Collaborative Children’s Solutions<\/strong> also presented on a request for $96,850 toward a peer-run mental health and substance use group that would be mainly operated at the Northwest Arena.<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s presentations were the first three of eight that will come before the JLDC board before they are expected to vote in June on which non-profits will receive funding. The grant program was funded with $1.5 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
