The Wallingford YMCA has received approval for renovation of its 26,900-square-foot west side facility following a unanimous vote from the Planning and Zoning Commission on Monday. The Y is aiming to double the size of their existing facility with a brand new aquatics center at their west side location at 8 North Turnpike Road. Primarily a gym facility, the addition will add a 17,500 square-foot space for a six-lane lap pool along with a lazy river exercise channel and splashpad playscape. According to Executive Director of the Y, Sean Doherty, there is still around $3 million of the total to meet their $7 million project goal, and while they’re still talking behind the scenes with donors and legislators to secure more funding, he encouraged members of the public to donate what they could to reach their goal – to limit the amount of financing needed for the project.
