Commissioner: Great Mills YMCA drew 1,200 sign-ups but opening delayed to August
Summary
A commissioner said more than 1,200 people have signed up for the new Great Mills YMCA in Lexington Park but deliveries have pushed the opening from mid-July into August; the facility is about 64,500 square feet, the commissioner added.
A county commissioner said the new YMCA on Great Mills Road in Lexington Park has drawn strong community interest — more than 1,200 people have signed up — but opening has been delayed from mid-July into August due to delivery and supply problems.
"They've got over 1,200 people who have signed up to join the YMCA," the commissioner said, adding that he planned to enroll himself. He described the facility as "over 64,500 square feet" and "beautiful," and asked residents for patience as contractors wait for critical items to arrive.
The commissioner said project organizers originally expected to open in mid-July but now expect the facility to be ready in August. He attributed the delay to supply-chain challenges and late deliveries on crucial equipment and materials, and urged residents to visit the site once it is complete.
The remarks were part of opening comments at a county meeting where the commissioner also summarized recent planning commission activity and upcoming public hearings. No formal motion or vote on the YMCA project was recorded in the transcript.
The county has not stated in the provided transcript any additional details about the project's funding, management or the schedule for a public ribbon-cutting.
