EDMOND, Okla. (KFOR) – The City of Edmond alongside the Metropolitan Library System and the YMCA of Greater Oklahoma City, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony this week
for the new $31.64 million Edmond community complex.
The complex is set to feature a shared lobby and multigenerational space, a fully functional YMCA and a full-size library. This innovative design according to City leaders, will provide a welcoming environment where individuals of all ages can come together, learn and engage in a variety of health and well-being activities.
“The power of partnerships cannot be understated,” said Stacie Peterson, the Ward 4 councilmember from the City of Edmond who served on the project oversight committee from its inception. “When we work together, we are stronger, better, and united in purpose. This project is a prime example of how partnerships make good things happen. Working hand-in-hand with the YMCA and the Metro Library System, Edmond will soon be blessed with the kind of quality-of-life jewel that defines what it means to be a part of this community.”
