Lock Haven YMCA receives grants to advance pool project

LOCK HAVEN, PA – The Lock Haven Branch YMCA recently received two grants totaling $150,000 from awards via the Clinton County Commissioners and the Clinton County Community Foundation. The first award granted by the Clinton County Commissioners was $100,000 through the ARPA funds available in the county. The second award was $50,000 from the Clinton County Community Foundation.

“We want to extend our sincere appreciation for the support of the County and the Foundation for this project. These gifts have been a significant advancement toward the $280,000 needed for reopening the pool, which we know is of great importance to the community and those who miss it.” said Corinne Amrom, District Executive Director.

Tier One of the Pool Restoration Campaign has been a yearlong fundraising endeavor to replace the Pool PAK, an HVAC unit that regulates the pool water and air temperature. With this equipment replaced, the pool facility, which has been closed since June of 2020, can reopen. In a recent release, the YMCA said, “Thanks to these two generous grants, we are almost there!”
