LEAD STORY:
The Southern Boone YMCA has swapped their acreage for another 15-acres and is still making fund raising efforts for a new facility and their next step is to get their property annexed into the City of Ashland.
YMCA officials will appear before the Board of Aldermen at their August 7 meeting for a public hearing and a vote to bring in their 15-acres into the city. The public hearing will be held at 7 p.m. at the Southern Boone Fire training center.
The reason for the annexation into the city is simple for Southern Boone YMCA director Kip Batye: “We want to be in the city. They helped bring the YMCA to Ashland and their partnership is important to us.”
The YMCA swapped its original property – 15-acres on the southwest corner of the 40-acre property at the intersection of Liberty Lane and Main Street – for 15-acres on the northeast corner of that same 40-acres with the owner of the remainder of the property, commercial real estate developer Don Quick, of Texas.
