The Door County YMCA wants you to keep your kids safe while the new addition is being constructed. Mission Advancement Executive Tonya Felhofer cautions everyone to avoid the secured area where trucks and heavy equipment are located. She says with the site being mobilized now, parents need to be aware of where their children are playing, especially with Peterson Park nearby.

Felhofer says the construction outside the building will intensify in the coming weeks as the electrical and wiring work is currently being completed inside. The new $10 million project will add over 16,000 square feet of space and include a new youth activity center and the Timmerman Family Wellness Center.  The completion of the new facility is expected by the fall of 2023.
