Just In From The Town of Barnstable News Letter
The Hyannis Youth and Community Center was on the agenda of the May 24th Town
Council Meeting for a supplemental appropriation of $6.7 million for the purpose of
funding additional acquisitions and expanding the building size - now 100,000 square
feet. Members of the general public and the Barnstable Youth Commission spoke on
the proposal which gained approval.
This may result in as much as a nine month postponement
for the ground-breaking as the architects re-work the plans in order to increase
the seating capacity to over 1,700 in one rink and 250 in the second rink. The
gymnasium will also be enlarged to accommodate a competition basketball court with
two full cross courts and with seating for 500 spectators and an elevated three-lane
indoor jogging track around the gynasium. The snack bar concession and dining area
will also be expanded for the increased number of spectators as will the parking area.
It will surely be worth the wait as the completed project will be a Youth and Community Center facility of which Barnstable residents can all be extremely proud!
