The YMCA of Central Kentucky has announced plans to expand its North Lexington facility and construct a new fitness center in the Hamburg corridor.

The $3 million expansion at the North Lexington Family YMCA is being aided by a one point five million dollar matching gift from Lexmark.  Plans include an additional 3,500 square feet of fitness and wellness space, and added space for healthy living programs such as Black Achievers, diabetes prevention, senior exercise and Livestrong for cancer survivors.  The expansion is expected to be finished in 2015.

The Hamburg YMCA will be located off Sir Barton Way adjacent to the Tuscany neighborhood.  It will include a warm water pool and play area, multiuse lap pool, health and wellness center, exercise studios, youth arcade and child care, gymnasium, indoor track and locker rooms.

That facility is expected to open in 2016.
