New Kent Approves First YMCA Design Funds | Virginia Beach News

New Kent County is taking a giant leap forward with its first-ever YMCA, just approved with $130,000 in funding from Colonial Downs to kick off architectural design. Set near the Visitors and Commerce Center off I-64, the future facility will include an aquatic center, gym, fitness zones, and community rooms — tackling long-standing gaps in public recreation and youth programming. A community survey will help finalize the site, followed by a major fundraising push for construction. With unanimous board support, this milestone signals New Kent’s serious commitment to building a healthier, more connected future for all residents — especially kids.
