Dry Weather Helping Mills County YMCA Construction Schedule

You won't hear Glenwood officials complain about the area's recent dry, warm weather. Glenwood City Administrator Mary Smith told KMA News that the recent dry spell has helped initial dirt work for the Mills County Y-M-C-A project back on schedule. Glenwood's City Council Tuesday night heard an update on the project's construction. Smith says the construction schedule calls for continued earthwork next week--weather permitting. Smith says rain last month and earlier this month did delay the project's ground testing--which proved costly. Council members also heard an update on the project's fundraising efforts. More than 382-thousand dollars in donations are in hand, with another 209-thousand pledged. Smith says other funding sources are set for the project. Smith adds the council Tuesday night approved the Y project's third alternate--the addition of acoustical tiling for the facility's indoor pool at a cost of 15-thousand dollars
