Description of QALICB
Beatrice YMCA, located in a Non-Metro Census Tract, is the only local facility to provide a comprehensive approach to health and wellness for community members of all ages and backgrounds. The newly renovated Beatrice YMCA sought to improve the quality of life for youth, families, adults, and seniors through more opportunities for a healthier lifestyle.
Community Benefits
Funds were used to renovate and update the existing 52,000 SF facility and build an additional 14,000 SF to meet increased demand and triple the size of The Y’s wellness center. The project created 75 construction jobs and added 30 new full-time jobs. The additional space allowed for expansion of their YMCA Discovery Zone, and a new teaching kitchen to provide instruction to community members on eating well.
