YMCA pursues an alternate location

Representatives of the project to build a Foothills YMCA in Oconee County told a committee of the County Council yesterday they are pursuing an alternate piece of property. Instead of acreage in a wooded area behind the Oconee Memorial Hospital, YMCA leaders would now like to move up on hospital grounds and locate in the vicinity of the EMS building. Hunteer Kome, president of the Oconee Medical Campus, has confirmed that the Oconee hospital board of directors will hear the ‘Y’ request during a meet Friday morning.
