About 75 people gathered at the Mystic branch of the Ocean Community YMCA Thursday afternoon for the groundbreaking of a $7.2 million expansion and renovation project that will take place over the next 13 months. Despite what he called “tough times” in the state, Stonington First Selectman Rob Simmons said the town has allocated $100,000 toward the project, as well as waived the project’s $37,000 in building permit fees.
