2 Sarasota County YMCAs to remain open

They originally were set to close because of declining membership and program participation.

Two YMCA fitness branches on the chopping block might remain open after all.

WWSB-TV reports Charlie Campbell, the finance chairman of the Save Our Y Advisory Committee, says the two branches will not close come September after all. All parties reportedly have agreed to terms to keep the branches open.

The locations are:

  • Frank G. Berlin Senior Branch on South Euclid Avenue
  • Evalyn Sadlier Jones Branch on Potter Park Drive

It originally was planned they would shut down at 5 p.m. Sept. 13 because of declining membership and program participation.

WWSB says a joint statement is expected late Tuesday or early Wednesday to detail the decision to keep the YMCAs open.
