Demolition Begins of Former YMCA Facility

County Executive Marc Molinaro, City of Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison and members of the City’s Common Council joined local stakeholders Monday as demolition of the former YMCA building at 35 Montgomery Street began, the next step in the process of the development of a state-of-the-art YOU.

County Executive Molinaro said, “The YMCA had a profound, positive impact on our communities for decades, and Dutchess County’s Youth Opportunity Union will build on that legacy of transforming the lives of young people. We will build a safe, structured space to offer essential educational services, childcare and recreation opportunities – addressing numerous needs for Dutchess County children and their families. We continue our journey toward the YOU, which will transform the lives of so many young people for generations to come.”
