Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear announced on June 13 that the Barren County YMCA, along with the city of Glasgow, would be receiving three quarters of a million dollars to construct an addition to its main building.
This $750,000 new addition will be used to house the YMCA’s senior citizen meal and exercise program.
“This grant is going to help the YMCA, is going to do so much for our community,” Glasgow Mayor Henry Royse said in the press release. “We have a tremendous senior program started at the Y, which is going to be feeding 300 seniors. This addition to the Y is also going to allow for senior classes and serve a need of our community that many times is underserved.”
Glasgow News 1 reached out to the YMCA’s CEO Tara Bailey for further information, but she declined to comment pending approval from the board of directors.
This sum of money is just one among the 12 total project announced by Beshear during his weekly Team Kentucky Update. In total, the 12 projects are roughly $8.5 million.
