Summary
Tri-County YMCA CEO Mike Steffe presented a 2025 impact report and shared Phase 1 floor plans for a Regional Wellness Center in Jasper; a groundbreaking is scheduled for April 17, 2026, and construction is planned to begin in May 2026.
Mike Steffe, chief executive officer of the Tri-County YMCA, presented the organization's 2025 impact report to the Dubois County Council on March 30 and outlined plans for a Regional Wellness Center to be built in Jasper.
Steffe reported that the YMCA offers 35 programs across 26 locations, serves 225 students at four after-school care sites, expects to serve about 900 children in summer camp and after-school programs, provides free membership to roughly 380 seniors, and awards $25,000 in subsidies to about 80 membership units. He also noted that the YMCA in Ferdinand will serve as a vote center location. Steffe presented Phase 1 floor plans for the Jasper facility and said a groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for April 17, 2026, at 1:00 p.m., with construction expected to begin in May 2026. The YMCA anticipates a future fundraising campaign for Phase II of the project.
The presentation focused on program reach and next steps for the Jasper facility; council members received the report during the meeting but no formal council vote or financial commitment tied to the county was recorded in the minutes.
