Jackson, Mich. (WKHM) — The Jackson YMCA on Wesley Street held their ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday afternoon, celebrating the completion of the years-long process of renovations and construction. The event featured guest speakers, a scavenger hunt highlighting the building’s new features, and a blessing of the building conducted by local Christian leaders.

Senior Director of Membership and Healthy Living Theresa Horne told WKHM what they day meant for the Jackson Y and the community as a whole.

With the major work now out of the way, Director Horne says the YMCA is excited for people to experience their programs free from any potential obstruction.

The YMCA is also running an offer through the end of the month in which people can join with a $0 joining fee in June. More information can be found by visiting their Wesley Street location, or by calling them at 517-782-0537.
