LANSING, MI — WILX-TV 10 in Lansing is reporting the downtown Lansing YMCA will not be reopening.
YMCA President and CEO Jeff Scheibel announced the decision in an email this morning saying the location at 119 N. Washington Square will not reopen.
“This was not an easy decision for our Board of Directors, who are a dedicated group of community leaders who embody the mission of the organization,” Scheibel said in the email. “They realize that all our branch locations are valuable centers in our community.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought an unprecedented level of unpredictability to the local business community, Scheibel said, wihch led the Board of Directors to vote to permanently close the branch.
“As hard as closing a facility is, I want you to know that we will always continue to be committed to helping our members and our community through our mission driven work and to transition all of our Downtown members to one of our other YMCA locations to help continue to support their wellness journey,” said Scheibel.
