Hospital money 'perfect' for new YMCA
The Hospital sale money belongs to all of the people.
A plan has been put together to build a new $8.1 million recreational and health facility near Wilmington High School - if Clinton County Commissioners are willing to pay half the cost with proceeds from the sale of Clinton Memorial Hospital.
The YMCA would serve as a tenant and manager in the facility, said Greg Law, executive director of the Clinton County Community Family YMCA during a meeting with commissioners Wednesday. About 60 various community members attended the meeting, held in the county's juvenile/probate courtroom.
My opinion:
The Hospital sale money belongs to all of the people of Clinton County. This proposition raises some questions.
1. Do to its location would all, or even most county residents, be able to take advantage of the facility?
2. Would the quasi religious nature of the prospective operator be an obstacle to the process?
3. Would county wide emergency services be a better use of the money?
4. Would all county residents have free membership and privileges at the center?
