The expansion was highlighted by the YMCA’s $5 million pool complex, or Carl and Deanna Miller Family Outdoor Pool, which spans more than 21,000 square feet and features water slides, a splash pad and cabanas.

Improvements to the Chaney Family Preschool include more space for a new library; a dance and movement studio; a classroom; and an outdoor playscape.
