No one has mentioned that the YMCA requires a million dollars to be raised in private funds for an endowment fund before they open.

I think a YMCA type of facility is a great idea. But signing a deal with YMCA is not. The only way Ymca will come in is if they put all liability on the county and they have no restrictions to force them to stay. So after they get the county to provide a location, if they decide the area is not profitable for them, they can close up and leave, leaving the county holding the tab. Also, look up what YMCA charges members in other areas. It's not cheap. And personally, I think if the county is paying part of the tab, pretty much everyone should have the ability to use it.

Ashe County, the Lost Province, unimpeded by 240 years of progress. Leading the charge to the bottom

Why should the county fund the YMCA, irregardless of the funding at the airport? The County has a parks and Recreation Department, if they want to put more money into recreation, that should be where it goes, why fund a competing agency? If the fine citizens of the county want an alternative choice to the services offered by the Parks and Rec department, they need to come up with the funds to do that, there are private gyms they can utilize, of they can quit yacking and get behind a fund raising effort to establish and support an alternative.

No, its not settled. They could come back and still do it. Too much under the table dealings going on to suit me in this.

The county could afford it if we defunded the airport and funded the YMCA, personally I think that would be better but the current county commissioners who have been sinking millions into the airport used by around 1% of the county population will never do that.

It's absolutely unbelievable, that for once, the mouth breathers made the correct choices that led to the best decisions. I have been expecting for a long time that those idiots would sell the county's soul to the YMCA.
