| YMCA CAN`T HELP PAY FOR TAYLOR REC CENTER | 2013-01-30 |
(TAYLOR) The proposed recreation center for Taylor took a giant step backwards this week thanks to a lack of funding. The YMCA of Greater Williamson County notified the City of Taylor that they cannot provide the $288,000 in pre-paid rent as requested. The City Council in December asked the YMCA for the money to cover some of the costs of the $3.6 million facility. The original facility was planned to be built on donated land next to the Taylor Regional Sports Complex. The YMCA is now asking to meet with city officials to propose building a smaller facility in a more central location in town. According to YMCA officials, the agency felt that they might end up paying more in hidden construction costs and other fees. The City has already spent $300,000 in engineering and architectural pre-construction costs for the facility. The Council had voted in November to spend unused funds for the proposed facility, but found bids for the project came in well over their budget. | |
