Earlier in the week, I mentioned that there are rumblings that the MAC may be expanding, and I just discovered that the talks have gone further than I originally thought. According to this story in the Edmond Sun, there was a special workshop held around 3/14 to discuss some of the details.
A new facility could include a fitness center, two to three pools, two gyms and designated family areas, said Steve Commons, assistant city manager.
On the surface, this seems like a great idea that could be a win-win for all 3 entities, and ultimately be a huge benefit for the residents of Edmond.
The Edmond Public Schools certainly have a need for the pools, and the Y has a need for more fitness space. However, it sounds like there are still many logistical issues to be worked out. It seems though that all 3 parties have a real interest in finding a good plan that works for all of them, and as long as they stay in that mindset of cooperation, I would bet that this proposal will see it’s way to real-life expansion.
If you happen to have any further information on the progress of this proposal, please enlighten us, and as I find out more, I’ll be sure to post it here.
