The City of Longmont and the YMCA of Northern Colorado have reached a tentative agreement for the city to purchase the Longmont Y property. This agreement will go before Longmont City Council for consideration at their regular meeting on July 14, and representatives from both the city and the Y will attend to answer questions and share details.
If approved, the city intends to develop the property into a second recreation center for Longmont, upgrading the building and expanding access to fitness, aquatics, wellness and community programming for years to come. We know this facility and the Y community hold real meaning for so many of you. It means a great deal to us that it may continue serving Longmont residents as it takes a new shape under the city's care.
Maintaining childcare access for our current and future Y families remains a top priority. The Y continues to provide licensed childcare — preschool, summer day camp and before and after school care — for more than 125 kids in Longmont. We are working with city staff to explore how YMCA childcare will continue during and after this transition. We will be in touch as we know more.
We are grateful to the City of Longmont for stepping up as a committed partner. We also want to thank you for your patience. We're happy to share this hopeful next chapter with you.
