Dear Neighbor,

I am pleased to announce the Northern Middlesex YMCA has been awarded $8 million in state Community Investment Fund (CIF) dollars! The money will fund facility renovations including a focus on ADA access, creating multi-generational spaces, and increasing early childhood and preschool care.

I was happy to help the YMCA secure this funding, along with my colleagues in the Middletown delegation. The Y is a great resource for our community and offers an array of programs and support for our residents. This funding will help the Y make needed renovations and ensure it remains a valuable asset to our town. 
The renovation will address the following:
  • Relocate the main entrance to improve accessibility and safety throughout the facility
  • Add an elevator and address ADA compliance
  • Modernize and enhance the energy efficiency of the facility
  • Create multigenerational, multi-use spaces that inspire community building and wellness
  • Dedicated, safe space for youth to socialize and engage in youth development services
  • Gender-neutral changing rooms and bathrooms
  • Expanded space to engage in future partnerships with community-based organizations and to grow childcare services with new preschool classrooms and infant/toddler care

I am very appreciative of the CIF’s commitment to Middletown and specifically, one of its most beloved facilities, the Northern Middlesex YMCA. I'm confident these renovations and additions will only increase the positive impact the YMCA already has on the city and surrounding areas.

Sincerely,

Brandon Chafee
State Representative
